It stars Colin Egglesfield, Mark Dexter, Jenna Harrison and John Rhys-Davies.The story is based on the real-life series of Shark attacks that occurred along the New-Jersey shoreline between the 1st and 12th of July 1916 with five swimmers that were attacked by what is believed to be a juvenile great white shark. The story primarily follows Alex, a lifeguard who witnessed the first attacks and the response by local authorities and scientific experts.Previews: Trailer

12 Days of Terror / int_63cad64b	comment	Threatening Shark: Although this is the case for the Shark that attacked the five swimmers (despite experts at the time believing sharks were incapable of attacking humans in shallow water). It should also be recognised that sharks normally don't behave like the shark of the 1916 attacks. (For an example of more normal shark behaviour this video shows Craig Ferguson dive with sharks on Shark Week.)

12 Days of Terror / int_99ddfcec	comment	Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Lester’s friends really want to go swim at a nearby lake together, but he points out his working shift isn’t over. His father sees this and jokingly decides that because he’s “overstocked” then Lester must finish early.

You next see Lester’s parents heartbroken reactions at the dock as they’re witnessing rescuers try to save him but to no avail. His father takes this the worst.
