Piranha: DVD Review
Piranha
Released by Roadshow Entertainment
Rating: R18
You want a plot? It's all there in the title - well, aside from
the gratuitous nudity and gore.
It's spring break in Arizona and with thousands of randy ready to
party teens heading to town and on Lake Victoria itself, local
sheriff Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) has her hands full.
But matters are made worse when an earthquake rips open a
prehistoric cavern where thousands of vicious death fish
live&.can the sheriff save the day?
B grade at its very core and very finest, this exploitation flick
has its tongue in its cheek (even if the director won't admit it).
While the cinema release benefited from the novelty of 3D, this DVD
version adds little - and with a lack of 3D feels somewhat flat; so
much so that the plot starts to drag.
File Piranha under guilty pleasure and bloody good fun - if you
like countless deaths, gratuitous nudity and B movie acting (and
have had a few beers with some mates) this is the film for you.
Extras: Commentary, deleted scenes and the
trailer - not much trawled up in this net.
Rating: 6/10
