Cruel Jaws, also known as The Beast and Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws, is a 1995 mockbuster, based on the 1975 classic, Jaws and its sequels. The film stars Richard Dew and was directed by infamous Italian filmmaker Bruno Mattei (under the name of William Snyder). The movie utilizes footage from the Jaws series, Deep Blood, and The Last Shark. While marketed in many areas as Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws, it is actually not part of the Jaws franchise.

The coastal town of Hampton Bay is threatened when a tiger shark starts chomping up their vacationers. Days before the annual Regatta celebration, the townspeople are faced with financial ruin if something isn't done about their newfound shark problem. If that wasn't enough, the owners of the local amusement park have been subject to a hostile takeover from a prospective businessman looking to cash in on their prized property. It's up to the sheriff, the park's owner, and a shark expert to head out and destroy the killing fish before the summer economy is slashed and the park is left for the bulldozer.
As of 2011, the film has still not been officially released in the United States in any home video format. The film was released on DVD in its native Italy in 2009.[1]
