To Quote "Horse_Hockey" from the news article:


"I wonder if this will include Evil in the Deep? Because that's the one that will grab people. Treasure of Jamaica Reef has an interesting backstory (it was during filming that Cheryl Stoppelmoor met David Ladd) but it's an astonishing bore. It claims to be based on the novel Diary of a Diver by John Walker, but I've found zero evidence that such a novel ever existed; likewise I'm not sure the film ever played in theaters.

Then Jaws came out. Somebody decided to take ToJR, slap shark footage and a few utterly ridiculous murder scenes into it, splash a little gore here and there, call Stephen Boyd back to narrate some nonsensical hoohah about "Visconti's cursed map," get William Marshall to VO a trailer (it's on YouTube!) and run it in the southern U.S. as Evil in the Deep with the tagline, "RIPS YOUR NERVES TO SHREDS!" It made a quick buck, with which someone ran off. It's still a terrible movie, but at least that version is funny and only occasionally boring."
