SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Julian R. White I can't even call this a movie, it's more like a massive porno with some fish thrown in. The plot is decent, I mean you can't go wrong with swarms of killer fish. But no, these are apparently prehistoric fish that somehow managed to survive with no food for millions of years in a cave. Okay? Well anyways, you can't go 10 minutes without seeing boobs, a butt, or someone doing something sexual. I realize this seems to be the staple for the newer low budget monster flicks like this, but give it a break. They also go WAAAAAY too far with the gore, and I mean they use an unnecessary amount of blood and carnage to shock audiences. If you're one of those people who feed off that kind a thing, then this is a movie for you. If you want something that's actually...ya know, good, it's not gonna be for you.

vonhelvete Piranha 3D isn't a good movie! It's filled with bad effects, worse acting and a really dumb plot. All this makes this tasteless flick so good! It's filled with all the crappy stuff you need to get a good laugh and at the same time a "what the hell did I just watch"-feeling. LOADS of blood, extremely ugly blood-thirsty fish and sexy women, all in a crazy vortex of entrails, screaming and hilarious one liners. A really stupid flick I can't help to love!

Python Hyena Piranha 3D (2010): Dir: Alexandre Aja / Cast: Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Jerry O'Connell, Adam Scott, Christopher Lloyd: Piranhas strike fear into the lives of those whom are aware of their existence. In this idiotic film people are warned by police and they still jump into the water. A tremor causes an underwater ground opening and a rare breed of piranha emerges and terrorizes a beach community celebrating spring break. Directed by Alexandre Aja who is no stranger to graphic violence but the 3D is effective. Aja previously made other graphic outings such as the remake of The Hills Have Eyes as well as Mirrors. The cast unfortunately is totally piranha fast food. There is Elisabeth Shue as the local Sheriff whose son doesn't know how to follow orders. Her children seem to do things that people with any form of intelligence would avoid. Ving Rhames plays her deputy who has his own methods for killing piranha although the payoff isn't so great for him. Jerry O'Connell plays a flamboyant beach party host filming a porn flick. Adam Scott is among the rescuers. There are several celebrity cameo with Christopher Lloyd most notable playing off his Doc Brown Back to the Future persona. The film points out that it is in 3D as if that really matters. We are given the severed floating image of a penis before one of these creatures gobbles it up. That was intended to be a laugh but it just comes off as tasteless and desperate. The ending leaves the door open for a sequel with even bigger fish. Pointless mayhem and total stupidity render this film deserving of a piranha attack. Score: 3 / 10

SnoopyStyle It's spring break at Lake Victoria and kids have gathered for their annual drunken party. Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames) and Sheriff Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) are trying to keep the peace. Kelly (Jessica Szohr) has come home from college and Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen) is still pinning for her. Derrick Jones (Jerry O'Connell) hires him as a guide for his video shoot. He has to babysit his siblings and recent earthquakes have released a school of prehistoric piranhas. Julie takes out a group of scientists to investigate the tremors. Jake ditches the kids and Kelly comes along for the shoot.It's fun to have Richard Dreyfuss killed off in a fish horror movie right off the bat. It sets the right campy tone. It's sexploitation horror. It knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to be more. It's got blood, gore and hot bods. The acting isn't too silly even with Jerry O'Connell. There are some good actors in this functional horror.
