Lake Victorias annual Spring party by 50000 young revelers is about to turn into a feeding frenzy with prehistoric hunger-pains. With knee-tremblers above the waves and tremors below released from their dormant sleep thousands upon thousands of flesh-eating nippers are released into the lake with whetted appetites and razor-sharp teeth. With a motley crew of strangers thrown together to defend these shores it is now up to them to prevent the largest eat-out in human and piranha history.
Review
For those of you who saw the trailer you can already expect loads of nudity and gore. And if you walk in Piranha 3D (do yourself a favour and watch it in 3D it's definitely worth it) expecting these things then you'll have a good time. Maybe it will go down in history as being a cult favourite within 10 or 15 years from now but it probably won't be nominated at the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards and that's fine because the crew know that and only want to offer a really great time. Piranha is a film that won't please to everyone After all it's sort of meant to laugh of other horror movies that use huge chunks of blood and gore to ''scare'' you without exactly being a parody.
All in all I was pleased with what I got. Some scenes had me laughing quite hard while in others I literally jumped out of my seat. The acting was good with no one really acting great but everybody from Elisabeth Shue to Jerry O'Connell while going through Kelly Brook Porn Star Riley Steele Ving Rhames and smalltime actors Jessica Szohr and Steven R. McQueen everybody seemed to be having fun while shooting this movie. The CGI effects weren't as bas as expected and frankly I didn't notice one scene featuring some cheesy dialogue. Blood and Gore is served in buckets and litres so you might want to be prepared for that and there's a lot of nudity as well. Maybe not a safe bet for young children but teens will have probably seen worse movies.
Story An earthquake liberates thousands of bloodthirsty prehistoric piranhas during the same week Lake Victoria is celebrating the annual spring break where hundreds of teens come to party every year. Sheriff Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) tries to keep some order until she discovers about the piranhas and tries her best to close the lake with her deputies. Meanwhile her son Jake (Steven R. McQueen) is asked by the Derrick (Jerry O'Connell) and his Girls Gone Wild stars Danni and Crystal (Kelly Brook and Riley Steele) to show them the nicest places in town to start filming their next porno film even though his mother had clearly told him to stay home to babysit his younger brother and sister.
Of course there's much more to it than that but if I were to write too much about the plot I would probably write a fulllength spoiler. All in all expect what you expect from the trailers and definitely sit back with your popcorn and drink and get ready for a hell of a ride. Definitely one of my top 10 films of the year so far.
