Haute Tension and Hills Have Eyes director Alexandre Aja pays homage to the films that made him fall in love with the horror genre by helming this comedic remake of director Joe Dante's 1978 Jaws parody. Lake Victoria may look peaceful, but beneath the placid waters of this painterly lake lurks a deadly menace. A powerful underwater tremor has released scores of man-eating prehistoric fish into the waters, and now it's up to a group of unlikely heroes to band together and defeat the razor-toothed predators. With time running out and the aquatic carnivores taking over, one brave heroine (Elisabeth Shue) will risk everything to save the lake and prevent her family from becoming fish food.

I went to see this movie with a group because it was filmed in our town. I knew what to expect as far as blood, gore, and nudity. I have to say I was surprised how well done the special effects were. The 3D effects were generously scattered throughout the movie, not 'few and far between' like I've seen in other blockbusters lately. I am a middle-aged married female, (just to disprove some reviewers). Piranha 3D is a fun ride. NOT for kids no matter how desensitized you think they are. If you enjoy B-movies and don't mind nudity, enjoy it for what it is. Our poor lake will never be the same.

Much better than I expected. Loads of gore, nudity and the bloodiest movie I've seen. This was very entertaining B-movie.

A roller coaster ride of gratuitous gore and nudity! This film is NOT meant to be taken seriously, it is a total homage/throwback to oldschool monster films with over the top gore and sexual content. The film needs to be watched in a tongue-in-cheek manner and enjoyed for the harmless, silly, and stupid ride that it is. Every teenage boy's hormonal fantasies are brought to life with the ridiculously silly amounts of nudity, there are even 3 porn stars in the film (I'm not complaining!). Also, the gore and blood is so extreme and ridiculous that it's laughable, along with the unrealistic looking CGI Piranha. There are also hilarious cameos by Richard Dreyfuss and Christopher Loyd to make any 80's film geek jump with joy and laughter. This is silliness and stupidity at it's best (breasts and blood in 3D), which caused me to laugh for 90 mins and therefore, actually enjoy this funny B movie masterpiece on some immature level.
