Plot
From acclaimed director Alexandre Aja, comes the new action thriller "Piranha 3D", in the latest eye-popping 3D technology. A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on beautiful Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents. But our heroine (Elisabeth Shue) is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself.
Editor's Review
If you love B-grade movies, you have to catch this one because it's gotta be one of the "best" B-grade movie this month. Last month is was Vampires Suck, this month it has to be Piranha.
I'm a B-grade movie lover myself, but this one really got me rolling my eyes and laughing. Here's the story: Lake Victoria is usually a quiet little town where you can walk in the middle of the road and not get run over by a monster truck. But one weekend out of a year this sleepy town is transformed into a teenage hotspot where hormones are a plenty and raging at that too. Holding this now rowdy town together is Sheriff Julie Forester, a single mum to three kids.
As luck would have it, on the first day of Spring break there's an underground earthquake that opens up an internal lake system. This hidden lake is home to a school of prehistoric piranhas that's now free to swim the lake. Fortunately for the mechanical-looking creature, there's a lake full of juicy food supply and these little fishes are hungry.
Anyway, you can figure out what happens next. Blood. Gore. Mayhem.
The odd thing about this movie is that however bad it is, I'm sure it's going to do fairly well at the box office. In fact, it was No. 6 in it's opening weekend in the US raking in over US$10 million. Not a bad start for a plot line that's basically play in the sun, jump in the water, swim, get bitten and then get eaten.
