Piranha
2010 Directed by Alexandre Aja
Synopsis
Sea, sex and... blood.
Each year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria, Arizona explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 residents for the annual Spring Break celebration. But then, an earthquake opens an underwater chasm, releasing an enormous swarm of ancient Piranha that have been dormant for thousands of years, now with a taste for human flesh. This year, there's something more to worry about than the usual hangovers and complaints from locals, a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria.

The final twenty minutes are completely bonkers and worth the wait.
Big ass fish, crazy gore, Christopher Lloyd for about ten seconds and a severed penis make for a surprisingly good time!

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WATER"
swim forest swim!
I FUCKIN' LOVE THIS MOVIE. -
Alexandre Aja's remake of the 1978 film of the same name is an inspired homage of B-movies from the seventies. There is gore and nudity aplenty and zero intelligence. It's premise is deliciously simple - an army of prehistoric piranhas wreak havoc on a lake during spring break. That perfect campy setup leaves me baffled as to how there is such a massive gap in the action. If you added up the total amount of time that there is actually trashy, gory fun, it would add up to about 30, maybe 40 minutes. That means there are roughly 50 minutes where nothing happens. Some nerdy kid (Steven R. McQueen - great name) goes along with a sleazy pornographer, played by…

Blood and boobs galore. Everything one looks for in an entertaining shitty movie. A true fun-filled crap fest for our generation.

OK lets get one thing straight right off the bat. Yes I know this film is shit! The thing is this is the kind of shit I can have fun with. It's terrible in so many ways! The acting, story, and special "defects" are all completely ridiculous there's no arguing that. So how the fuck did I have fun with it? Well let me tell you. I went in expecting B-movie cheesiness and that's what I got. The things wrong with this film made me laugh. Everything from the ridiculous looking piranha to the over the top hilarious deaths cracked me up so I enjoyed the 88 minutes I spent with this SHIT! In sports sometimes you just gotta take what the defense gives you, so if you apply that logic here you take what the film gives you. A few cheesy/cheap laughs and you still win the game albeit and ugly one!

Badass, Hilarious, and way better than it should of been. This is one of my favorite films of 2010.

Aunque peca de lo que casi toda película de Terror peca (una introducción bastante aburrida y larga), nos ofrece lo que cualquier película de serie B nos debe de mostrar: tetas y sangre. Los momentos gore no son los más llamativos del mercado pero logran un buen efecto en el espectador. las pirañas se notan de lejos como efecto digital, pero tampoco es algo realmente malo. La historia es inexistente pero ni importa.
Tetas, tetas, tetas y sangre. Eso si, sorprende: nada de sexo.

This is really just an exercise in exploitation; from the 3D to the ridiculously extended scenes of Kelly Brook swimming around butt naked with former porn actress Riley Steele like a sapphic version of Walkabout. It actually takes the political incorrectness to painful levels and is far from enjoyable. Thankfully, Alexandre Aja of Switchblade Romance fame helmed the film so, when it moves away from the XXXploitation, it redeems itself somewhat.
Elisabeth Shue's local sheriff teaming up with good old Adam Scott from Torque's marine biologist to take on the furious fish would have been a much better main plotline than the teen shenanigans that take the limelight, particularly when Ving Rhames provides the muscle. This subplot culminates in a…

It knows what it wants to be and doesn't try to be anything more. It has everything it's supposed to have: boobs, blood, and humor... and it's in 3D. For all I heard about how much fun it turned out to be, I was pretty disappointed. Even taking it for what it is, it's still just not a very good flick.
...but it is nice to see Elizabeth Shue starring in a flick again, not to mention reunited with Christopher Lloyd for a scene or two.

Nota voor degenen die zich in de handen wrijven voor een contemplatieve reflectie over de economische malaise van de Verenigde Staten in de Obama-legislatuur. Guess again! In ‘Piranha 3D' , een titel die zich fantastisch schikt in het gelid van ronkende exploitation-titels genre 'Snakes on a plane' en Shoot ‘m up', krijg je wat de slogan van de bovenste plank je belooft: Sea, sex and blood. Kortom: het leukste schuldige pleziertje dat je dit jaar in de bioscoopzalen zal aantreffen.
Zoals het de betere horrorthriller betaamt, wordt ook ‘Piranha 3D' bevolkt door genoeg opgespoten bimbo's, opgeblonken torso's en kolkende hormonen om de kustlijn van Salou mee op te vullen. Spring break kondigt zich aan en een klein kuststadje rondom Lake…

Yes, I did buy it just for Kelly Brook. Over the top and really enjoyable!

If you watch this expecting anything more than gratuitous nudity and gore then you're a fool. If that's enough for you, then you will probably enjoy this.

I love this film so much, a great movie to watch in the summer, and it's filled with campy moments and extremely gory kills which makes it all the more fun!

close to perfect

Don't like quite it as much as some people do, but it's still a lot of fun.
