I don't dispute that Jaws is ultimately a horror movie. But if we're slicing an dicing things here, it doesn't belong in this category. Nuclear monsters? Giant mutants attacking cities? Aliens? Sure. Jaws? No.

The shark is . . . a monster

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not just some ordinary shark that eats someone and then swims off into oblivion.

I fail to see the difference between a movie about an entirely fictitious monster (e.g., Creature from the Black Lagoon) and a movie about a non-fictitious creature given fictitious, monster-like qualities.

I agree. The shark is so beyond a normal shark

That I consider it a creature.

Also, I couldn't think of another category it goes in. So there's that.
