Movie at the Baths — 'Jaws 2'

Overview

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, here's a dive-in screening that claims otherwise. Watching Jaws while you're getting wet isn't a new concept — in fact, the Brisbane International Film Festival did it back in 2010 — however we're betting that you haven't seen Jaws 2 while you're splashing around.

Yes, it's the sequel's time to shine, with Amity Island police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) once again facing the wrath of a ravenous shark. The film isn't directed by Steven Spielberg, but it is considered the best of the Jaws follow-ups. And if you're seeing it while wading in the water (or lazing about on the mezzanine), then you're there for the fun of the experience.

The event forms part of this year's Brisbane Open House, which includes an after dark program for the first time. From 7pm on Saturday, October 7, just head to the Spring Hill Baths to see movie magic swim across the screen as you swim in the pool. Tickets cost $10, and this is an adults-only affair, so don't bring the littlies.
