The setup: A part of a town's population is fussed by sharp-jawed pack of flesh-eating Piranhas that supposedly are extinct.
Satire and real terror are two things as hard as water and oil to combine. One can ease to do so, however leaving the film scattered with punchy amount of cliche and crappy elements that concludes bad reputation to the film. Fortunately Piranha 3-D lies just between the two sides. While it copies the plot of Jaws [somehow]; it also takes up notch by presenting gratuitous gore and blood splatter. Fresh faces from the TVD and some Girls Gone Wild-video stars, mix it together and bam! You just figured the formula of this cheeky B movie. Since "Snake on a Plane", this is the first film I get to see that lies between great horror, and a good sense of humor.
Piranha 3-D is a fun movie that serves you the genre's goods: wiggling boobs, a trolly dirty-old-man surrounded by bitchy gold diggers, and a ferocious flesh-eating creature, never to forget the splattering blood. 3 stars.
Piranha 3-D is a Modest Success!
