It helps because it is fast and crazy and gives you a sense of panic and, to me, makes me feel like you are right next to the person in the water or on the boat during the attacks.
They use it silence and natural sound very well. Like when they are throwing chum off the boat and it is just them talking and you can hear the chum hitting the water and there is no music. Then Bruce rises from the water, also the first time you see him, and the music starts and scares the crap out of you
The attacks are cut in a discontinuous style and also they very end part when he blows up Bruce it is a discontinuous style.
The music helps the film a lot! It adds so much suspense! Like the opening of the film with the girl swimming alone. The camera rising from the bottom of the ocean rising to her feet, that famous score kicks in and just sends chills down your spine.
I think this film would still do well if it were released in today's box office.
I think this film is scary because it really taps into a fear that almost everyone has or that at least crosses their mind. When I first saw this movie I was scared to go near any water source! I think Spielberg achieved this mainly with not showing the shark, which was due to mechanical issues, and I really think the score had a lot to do with the suspense.
