Purely Joyful Movie!

This film is a rather cheesy film, but sometimes a bit of cheese is a good thing. In fact, I enjoy cheese so to a point I enjoyed this film. It had some great gore in it and it was just a mindless movie where you shut off your brain and enjoy an hour and a half distraction. The film was a modest hit, making its budget back in the states and making an additional 55 million with its worldwide gross, but not a super hit by any stretch of the imagination. The story has a earthquake that unleashes an underwater cavern where there are apparently thousands upon thousands of flesh eating piranha residing. One would think that if these fish were living in an isolated cavern where food was not plentiful they would evolve needing less food, but like I said it is mindless fun as they come out hungry and their victims? A bunch of annoying teen spring breakers, so you are going to enjoy watching them get killed. A teen whose mom is a sheriff goes with this guy shooting a girls gone wild type video (why the heck were those things popular?) and we meet a few people before the fish go on their super kill spree!The film features quite a number of actors such as Richard Dreyfuss who gets credited and I never really noticed him, then figured out he was the fisherman at the beginning of the film. Then there is Christopher Lloyd who was not listed in the credits, but who is in the film a lot more than Dreyfuss. Ving Rhames also plays a role in this one and there are a couple of others of note. They seem to be just having fun with this one and as I said, just don't take it too seriously and it is enjoyable enough. Nothing great, but I could think of worse movies to waste and hour and a half with. The gore effects in places are great and the film leaves off clearly with a sequel in mind. Just one question, how did those two chicks stay underwater for so long without drowning?

The opening scene with Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws) fishing was worth an added star. He gets sucked into a computer generated whirlpool. The plot is simple: fish eat people. Rather than create mutated or altered fish we have prehistoric fish which gives us an underwater cavern scene which could have used some more imagination. The fish, who lived in the cavern should have been blind, a point missed by the producer who was too busy recruiting porn stars, Ashlynn Brooke, Gianna Michaels, and Riley Steele for cameos. Yes there is nudity and lots of it, including underwater full frontal and a severed male organ being devoured by our prehistoric fish. The boat used in the movie has the name "Barracuda." The actors can't help the bad script. There is plenty of blood and devoured bodies, especially the bottom half. Lots of underwater, fish eye views. In this case the campy re-make is better than the original, which doesn't take much.

This is an awful awful movie. Do not see it. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. It is not scary at all. Just unbelievable gross. I can't not believe it got a 5.5. That is just overrating it. It is not a remake of the classic horror masterpiece Piranha (1978). The only thing this movie has in come with Piranha (1978) is there are both about the same kind of monster. Other then that it is like saying Interview with a vampire is a remake of Dracula. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this awful movie. Good actors wasted there talent being in this awful movie. The special effects crew did a great job. I can not believe that same man who wrote Sorority Row wrote this crap. He can do a good job if he wants to. This a great movie to skip. Do not see it.

Well this was exactly what it was meant to be; buckets of blood, hilarious deaths and naked boobies abound in a great B horror flick. The calibre of the actors in this did surprise me though, Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O'Connell, Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd and Richard Dreyfuss who reprises his awesome 'Jaws' (Quincy) scene.This was just a ton of fun, one of those "so bad its good" movies. In this case though the movie knows its bad and plays it up, mocking itself and B monster movies in general. Which helps in making it kind of a good movie.Spring Break hits sleepy Lake Victoria, along with 50,000 young revellers and a new type of terror; schools of prehistoric man-eating fish. Super fun 03.13
