Piranha

I think this is a good movie. I saw it on youtube last year. A doctor has been experimenting on piranhas and has made them virtually unstoppable. his assistants, Maggie and Paul, accidentally release the fish into the River and Lake threatening to destroy everyone in their path. They tried to stop them before they opened the dam. The people would not listen and opened it. They need to stop them before they eat anyone. they released pollution in to the lake and it killed most of them. I liked this movie. A different movie i liked was frogs [1972]. This movie is also on youtube. Frogs 1972 is a great horror movie for young children.

Well, it IS near identical. A lot of changes from the original had been made (the doctor minding the piranha testing center being just one of those). Still, I prefer this one. One: it provided more character detail into Paul. Two: this remake's Maggie isn't as "bumbling" as the one in the original (although she's still far from being a decent gumshoe). Three: the circumstance behind the piranhas' poisoning (just in the pool) is more believable than the original (an entire water system in Vietnam). Four: the usage of stock from the original aside, the fact that they left bones after piranha attacks makes it more believable than the original. Five: because they made this look more serious than the original, it actually made it funnier. It's still a bad movie, but, at least the way they changed it made it a tiny bit better.

This is a great horror movie. The original Piranha from 1978 is scarier. Piranha II the spawning is also scarier. But still this is a really scary movie. This is one of the scariest movies from the 90's This movie has a great story line. 3.9 is underrating it. I give this movie 9 out 10 because it is a great horror film. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. This is a very scary movie. I need more lines. Great movie great movie great movie. See it see it see it see it. It is one of the best horror movie from the 90's. This is a underrated classic. It not has good has the Jaws movies. But still this a great horror movies. It is very scary.

Although many will disagree with me here, I have to say that I enjoyed this film and actually prefer it to the original. The original is too old for me to appreciate it and even though this movie is made for TV it is still preety good and is well acted and directed. The plot is slightly different in this one but i like it. The script is exactly the same but does have some extra decent one-liners and funny parts, especially with that idiotic director who fancies that girl 20 years younger than him! That had me laughing for ages! William Katt was very good in this movie and is in a lot of other movies i've seen him in. He deserves to be in much better, well-known movies than this one. Also good is the guy who plays Randolph (the bad guy in the movie.) The music is preety good as well. Although it ends a bit weirdly and there isun't much development between the two main characters as there was in the original this is still good entertainment for a Saturday night in. So go check it out!

I am not an advocate of Remakes, but I do recognize a good one! This is not a good one. Why would anyone bother to remake a movie if they do not intend to improve on the original? Or at least alter it slightly as to merit an "Update"? This version of Piranha is cheaper and nastier than the original.... The Original knew it was Cheap and Nasty and played upon it.... but this movie takes itself seriously. The little 'fishy' effects are worse then the original and the plot itself is identical. This is basically a frame by frame remake... why? It was made for TV and one has to question why they bothered to invest money into this when they could have easily screened a re-run of Joe Dante's original classic! I am sure more people would have stayed tuned for that one. It was obviously a clever little parody of Jaws... this is a tired and lonesome stinker! I give it 1 out of 10 For having the guts to be made at all.

This is a terrific, and very fun update, of the 1978 John Sayles-Joe Dante drive-in classic. This one has it all: gore, laughs, movie buff in-jokes, gorgeous babes, and some genuine suspense and scares. Well-directed and keeps just enough of the original script intact, while adding a lot of clever new writing, to make this a fun ride to grab from the video store. Check it out!
