It looks like Steven Spielberg's Jaws is still the gold standard as upcoming shark horror movie opts to use practical models instead of CGI

Beast of War.

After what seems like an eternity of enduring bad CGI shark movies, it looks like upcoming fin-tastic horror film Beast of War has come to save the day, as writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner says the picture uses practical effects just like Steven Spielberg's Jaws.

“Every year there’s like ten shark movies that come out and every time I’m just looking at them going, it doesn’t look real… it just looks like a really well-rendered video game," said Roache-Turner in an interview with Bloody Disgusting. “To me, that’s not scary. The scary thing is that top shot in Jaws, where you see the shark coming to grab the guy’s leg, then he is trying to get back up on the boat, and it’s ripped off the boat. It’s real."
