Piranha (3D)

Ratings: 6.5/10
Film Class: B
Genre: Thriller

A sudden underwater earthquake unleashed an extinct species of the infamous piranhas. And in this "remake" of the classic piranha movies, an artistic film director and his team seek the service of a local boy whose mum is working as a sheriff of that town to bring them out to sea. It's that time of the year again where the town attracts lotsa tourists for one of the biggest and most havoc beach parties out there.

Despite the overly exaggerated gore, it was actually pretty entertaining. It wasn't your sadistic Saw or Hostel-type gore, but more of Final Destination and Planet Terror-type of gore. Several nude scenes to raise the testosterone level of guys, at the same time raising that adrenaline level for all. It's almost like a semi-erotic rollercoaster ride with the possibility of your coaster derailing type of feel.

Hated the abrupt ending, and how conveniently the school of piranhas were wiped out towards the end but overall, an entertaining movie which guarantees cheap thrills.
