Piranha 3D Trailers

Each year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria, Arizona explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 residents for the annual Spring Break celebration. But then, an earthquake opens an underwater chasm, releasing an enormous swarm of ancient Piranha that have been dormant for thousands of years, now with a taste for human flesh. This year, there's something more to worry about than the usual hangovers and complaints from locals, a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria.

Piranha 3D is a comedy horror film directed by Alexander Aja and is a remake of the 1978 Piranha film. It tells the story of a Victorian lake that is always visited by tourists every summer, in other places, ancient piranhas that escaped from underground rivers threaten residents and tourists who partying on the lake ... This film is very entertaining, I like visual effects and gore, lots of blood ... The drawback of this film is that there are too many sex scenes that make movies a little cheap. My personal rate: 7/10

I get it. This film might not be for everybody, but that's the point! This film pokes fun at the horror classics such as the JAWS series. The whole point of this movie is that it tries to be weird and cheesy on purpose and that if you go into it with that mindset you will have a great time. The story starts off when a teenage boy wants to work with this weird film producer who wants to produce some suggestive material. Anyways this boy's stupidity gets to him and he basically ends up leaving his annoying little brother and sister on their own. Little does he know that the waters they are filming on are infested with killer Piranha's and an extinct species of Piranha at that! Christopher Lloyd who played Doc.Brown in the Back to the Future series stars in this film as a scientist which was an amazing touch. Just seeing him in this film brought a smile to my face. Getting back to the point the Piranhas keep breeding and end up smelling the scent of swimmers and they end up eating them in gruesome ways. Some of these scenes while being cheesy really did freak me out which is what a horror movie is made to do. At the end the boy and (most of his friends) are saved, but they end up finding out that there is a massive Mother Piranha which is breeding the smaller Piranhas. The story while being quirky and strongly reminding me of an 80's horror film was interesting and there was not a single dull moment. The visuals for the most part were decent. The one pet peeve I have is that the movie tries to be way too edgy by showing lots of suggestive imagery and featuring loud hip-hop music. I personally thought that was jammed into the movie and that the film could live without it. There were some bad CGI effects in the beginning, but for the most part I thought the Piranhas looked extremely cool and gave the film much needed charm. Those bulging red eyes, scaly skin, and sharp fangs made these creatures goofy yet spooky at the same time. The music was not that great for a film of this type to be honest. 80's pop music or 70's disco would have done this retro style story justice! The acting was okay. It was no Blade Runner,Jaws or Empire Strikes Back in terms of acting, but most people would not notice the cheesy sequences. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any horror or comedy fan. It is a movie that one might hate and one might love! You will have to watch it and decide for yourself. I have a feeling this will go down as a cult classic (:

It's a shame they didn't shoot in native 3D. The conversion introduces annoying artifacts but it's still worth watching in 3D to add to the insanity. Definitely the best piranha movie. Nude 3D swimming. It's an assault on the senses in a good way. The characters are vulgar and interesting, the pace fast and fun, the gore so ridiculous it was very entertaining.

Here it is!!! the big one. the best horror/comedy, disaster movie made since the '90s to now.The reasons why it's the best horror/comedy, disaster movie made since the '90s to now is: 1. it's fast paced(there's not a slow or dull moment in it). 2. it has an easy to digest and understand plot that you know within 10 minutes into the movie. 3. it knows and follows the simple formula of a classic horror disaster movie perfectly. also it never deviates into some kind of movie it's not. it stays true to the kind of movie it is. 4. it doesn't have any unneeded scenes, lines of dialogue, or subplots that also don't have impact in a movie like this. 5. it has the best and most realistic make-up and special effects work that really make the carnage realistic, hard hitting, disturbing, scary, and suspenseful. 6. the directing is perfect in how it puts you right there in the action. the camera work is set up to give you the most impact and give you a sense of realism and paranoia and claustrophobia when the piranhas start biting people and tearing their bodies apart. 7. the writing is good with the characters dialogue. it has clever, creative, and unexpected and surprising dialogue. the acting is good and perfect for the kind of movie this is.there's really nothing to say about what this movie is about. it's pretty self explanatory and obvious once the movie starts what this movie is about. it's about prehistoric killer piranhas that get created from an underwater earthquake.the film's unabashed fun is what really sets this film apart from all the other disaster horror movies since the beginning of the '90s to now. this film is a balls to wall, high energy, completely uninhibited blast. it has all the qualities that made '70s and '80s drive-in movies so much fun. i'm talking about high octane action, cool and fun characters, a lot of female nudity, and great thrilling and suspenseful action scenes.this film is such a glorious throwback and the best example of a film which is a no frills, '70s and '80s drive-in, b and exploitation movie tribute.the reason why it deserves 10 out of 10 stars on the rating scale is it's as good as it could have been and everything the filmmakers set out to accomplish they accomplished.
