    When India’s Hindi-language movie industry finally decided to make their own version of Jaws, they decided to call it Aatank. That translates to “terror” or “panic” in Hindstani. But before Aatank completed principal photography, the studio shut the production down. The abandoned footage sat around on shelves for about a decade before another studio bought it, and decided to complete the film and release it in 1996. Aatank is available from Shemaroo Movies’ official YouTube channel! Watch it and then listen to Fin Flicks below!

    After publishing a few lackluster novels in the '80s, JAWS author Peter Benchley came back to aquatic horror in 1991. For many readers, BEAST felt like a return to form for Benchley. His story of a killer giant squid became a bestseller. And by 1996, the long tentacles of Benchley's BEAST had stretched all the way to network television. Today, NBC's THE BEAST is largely forgotten. But is this three-hour network television event worth another look? Listen to find out!
