This movie was excellent. If you like B movies, this is the one for you. It's about this pinita that kills a bunch of college students one by one on an island while they are having a scavanger hunt for the most panties. Each kill is very unique i.e. a guy gets his gonads ripped off, it was great. The directors Scott and David Hillenbrand really know what their doing. They make great B movies, who else would think of a killer piniata at a pantie scavanger hunt. I give it 9/10 stars.

Love all kinds of Horror films, from the silent films to the present day gems. However, this film is absolutely HORRIBLE. These college gals and guys fool around with an experiment besides trying to make out, but there is very little time for romance. The so called MONSTER is like a spoiled brat of a kid, who wants to chew up everyone in sight and has a horrible TEMPER!!! The college kids try to extinguish this creature with gallons of gasoline and nothing seems to work, they run around in circles trying to get away and of course, some wind up in body bags. I have to give credit to the poor actors who tried their very best to create some kind of picture, Nicholas Brendon,"Psycho Beach Party",2000 and Jaime Pressly,"Footprints",'02. When the CAMPUS POLICE finally came to their rescue and asked them,"JUST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?", the entire remaining CAST went SILENT!!! If you want to waste your time and see a NOTHING of a film, THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!

I had a chance to see a private screening of this movie. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, waste your money to go see this movie in a theater or to even rent it. Pinata is hands-down the worst movie I've ever seen. The dialogue is horrible; in one scene, one of the characters describes that the sound the pinata makes is like the pain and suffering of a village of people, which incidentally matches the exact myth of the pinata. The biggest problem I had with this movie is that it is neither horror or a satire on horror; rather it is stuck somewhere in between. At least with the "Scream" trilogy and "Scary Movie" you get a decent attempt to ridicule the horror genre. Pinata seems uncertain of whether to ridicule the genre or be one of its movies. Please don't see this movie.

I think the introduction was the best part of the movie. Yes, that part where you have to be spoon fed an explanation about you are seeing (because the director thinks it's a novel idea!) Plainly, no one actually needs this explanation. I think it makes good decoration. One thing surprised me. The visuals of the "natives" and their relationship to the piñata were interesting to watch, "most" of the time. The quality of the whole thing had that professionally rehearsed quality that you beg for in a cartoon. If it weren't for that introduction, I may have not stayed over the 15 minute mark to see what this movie was all about. The transition from the actually better-than-it-deserved intro-music to the MINDLESS GRUNGE sound of those inane rock guitars was my first indication that I was about to turn this movie off in a few minutes. Then, the water gun games between the rafts. Wow, that was so compelling. The minutes were ticking. My palms were getting wet and sticky. But I forged on! Then came the earth-shattering character development scene about a Port-O-Potty! I was breathless with anticipation. What could they think of next? Then, believe it or not! That grungy music again! Oh, I was captivated! After this, I had to make a life-changing decision. Would I stay or go? OK...I stayed. Then, more character development about young people smoking pot. Folks, this was deep! You gotta believe me, here! Then, of course comes the discovery of the awe-inspiring Piñata from hell! What does our hero do? He hits it with a stick, of course! What else would any self-respecting dude-about-town do in a situation like this? And then....... YOU GUESSED IT! YES! IT came to LIFE! And then why NOT spoil it? The rest of the plot resembles the Friday the 13th genre, of course. Pick them off, one by one...oh the TENSION, the DRAMA...the utter "grippingness" of it all! The unanswered questions, the doubts, the comic relief...oh, the sheer artistry... The UTTER, UTTER, uselessness of it all! (CLICK)

I don't understand why this movie isn't on the Worst 100 list. I've seen 7 movies on that list, and this one is worse than any of those. If I gave a 10th grade class an assignment to create special effects and they turned in the ones in this movie, I might feel sorry enough for them to give them a D. I hope they didn't pay the special effects team more than $500. Not only are they embarrassing poor, the animated figure doesn't look like the costumed figured used in the close ups. Meanwhile the acting is so stiff that one is left wondering if the final footage came from the 2nd or 3rd reading of the script. Or if the script was simply being written an hour before the filming. If you are looking for a silly horror movie to watch with a group of friends for laughs, this is a very good candidate. On that scale, I would give it an 8.

This was one of the worst movies I had ever seen! U can tell that it was definitely a low-budget film, and the writing was awful. It was a typical, cheesy college kid film with the pretty size 0 beach blondes, college hunks and jocks, and of course the one black guy in the film (who never survives in horror films)looking to party and get wild. The creature's was computer animated, and it was so bad that it took the fear out of the film. The story line was very weak and not at all believable. I surely hope that they do not plan to make a sequel to this! I recommend that this film gets lost in the pile somewhere. From the very beginning I knew who would survive and who wouldn't. Two thumbs down here!

How bad is this movie? It's so bad that it doesn't even have any decent gratuitous nudity. They have a hot babe in Jaime Pressley running around an island in a midriff baring shirt, but no skinny dipping scene? Blasphemy! Worst, the movie is pitifully stupid and amateurish.
