lil fish
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A wonderful early horror film. Enough of a decent plot and plenty of icky chewing scenes. The sound of piranha school coming toward you is like the music in Jaws. A tidy little "B" horror film that does homage to Jaws.

Cheesy fun B Movie!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is pretty entertaining B movie from the late 70s. It was intended to be a Jaws parody and works well as one.

Classic Horror - Poor Blu-Ray Quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a classic movie that I am happy to add to my horror collection. This film comes out after the success of Jaws movie which like all rip off movies tries to rake in the money for their version of a killer fish. Overall the film is a great film for all the cult classic horror film people out there. In terms of the blu-ray, that is the major let down. The video quality is probably the only good quality about the film. Nothing spectacular for a Blu Ray. The Audio is not upgraded, same mono sound you get a VHS or DVD. Personally if I knew this, I would have purchased the film on DVD. It IS NOT worth it for blu ray. Do yourself a favor, buy the DVD version, you are better off!

Piranha
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Joe Dante's Piranha is a fun, lightweight comical horror film. There's not much to it, but it's likable and funny.
