Watched Piranha the other night, directed by Alexandre Aja, and I was pretty impressed. I put this movie off instantly after seeing the first trailer in theaters. I assumed it was just some shitty movie, trying to make bank off of the whole 3D thing. But as I have been appreciating more and more B-Horror movie, and movies with ridiculous plots, I thought id check this out.
The story is simple, there are these rare piranhas that have come loose from this lake, within a lake... or something like that. and it just so happens they decide to come loose during spring break, when everyone is partying and going crazy in the water. So the story is basically trying to get everyone safe, and kill the piranhas.
The acting was alright, nothing to spectacular. I enjoyed Paul Sheers character, and I had no idea he was even in this movie, so that was a good surprise. He played the cameraman to this porno, girls gone wild type movie, and often had funny,stupid lines. Oh and another reason I wanted to check this out was because I read that Eli Roth had a cameo in it, as a wet tshirt contest host. So I figured if Eli Roth backs this movie, then it cant be all that bad.
Overall it was a lot of fun, good movie to watch with a bunch of dudes. Tons of gore and nudity. I was actually really impressed with the amount of gore that was in this movie. The amount of half eaten bodies was pretty intense. One scene in particular, of a girl getting scalped from getting her hair tangled in the boats propeller was pretty gnarly. Im not used to all of the CGI gore and shit, so that was pretty different.
Also, I watched this movie nottt in 3D, and while watching I was constantly thinking, man I bet that would be good in 3D, so I suggest watching it in 3D, if you can. I dont even know if you can? what hello no what ok peace.
