, also known as Sharks and Sangue negli abissi(literally: "Blood in the Abyss"), is a 1989 Italian sharksploitationdrama.
The credited director Raffaele Donato (as Raf Donato) only directed the first scene in which the boys gather to seal their blood pact, while the remainder of the film was directed and photographed by Joe D'Amato, who also co-produced the film through his company Filmirage in conjunction with Variety Film.
On a deserted beach, four boys, Miki, John, Ben and Allan, are told by an Indian the story of the monstrous marine being Wakanand seal a blood pact, a bond of their friendship and mutual assistance in case of danger.
Ten years later, the boys reunite as young men and decide to go on a holiday together. But a killer shark ruins their plans. It attacks the beach community and kills John while he is swimming.
Joe D'Amato met Raffaele Donato in 1975 on the set of Red Coats and used him repeatedly as an English dialogue coach.He encountered him again years later in the United States and hired him on Deep Blood because he needed someone who was fluent in English. In an interview D'Amato gave for the 1996 book Spaghetti Nightmares, D'Amato stated that Donato had told him that he wanted to direct a film, but after directing the first scene of the film at the beach, Donato realized that directing films was not what he wanted to do. D'Amato then finished the film on his own.
D'Amato said "(It was shot) in Florida mostly, though we did do a small part along the Mississippi River. (...) The actual underwater scenes though were shot in various places: at Ventotene, in a Roman swimming pool and in a New Orleans aquarium. We built a mechanical shark's head, and for the rest we used stock footage shots."The shark stock footage was bought from the National Geographic Society. In the scene of the explosion killing the shark, footage from Great White is used.

Jul 29, 2022 · Although officially credited to Raffaele “Raf” Donato, this sharksploitation film is primarily the work of its uncredited producer and director of photography (credited as Federiko Slonisko), Joe D’Amato who later claimed that Donato fancied his hand at directing but soon found himself, if you’ll pardon the pun, out of his depth.
An odd little rip-off of Jaws from Italian exploitation master Joe D’Amato under the name “Raf Donato,” Deep Jaws has some hilarious moments in it: some underwater footage meant to take place in the ocean was obviously shot in swimming pools (you can see the tiles!), and some of the dialogue is pretty heavy and hot (“I hate you with all ...
