Cool Horror Videos: Honest Trailers takes on Jaws

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Each episode of the Honest Trailers series, a very popular feature on the Screen Junkies YouTube channel, takes a trailer for a film and satirizes the movie through a voiceover that delivers an "honest" assessment of it. With the latest episode, the show has set its focus on an appropriate choice for this time of year – Steven Spielberg's classic JAWS, which just celebrated the 41st anniversary of its release on June 20th and will be watched by many film fans over the next few days, since the story partially revolves around the 4th of July holiday.

I haven't seen many episodes of Honest Trailers myself, and when I heard they had done a JAWS episode I was initally reluctant to check it out – I didn't want to watch one of my favorite movies get holes poked in it. Finally, I clicked Play on the video and was pleased to find that the Honest Trailers people love JAWS just as much as I do. They treated the movie with reverence and had fun with its greatness.

If you're a fan of Honest Trailers you've probably watched this by now, but if you're a fan of JAWS who hasn't seen this yet it's definitely worth giving a look.
