After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents...
Piranha is obviously an exploitation film and that says a lot about the film's goal and message, or lack of message. But still, an exploitation film can be good if it meets a certain criteria. An interesting and solid story is a good start. Unfortunately, the plot of the film is silly, ridiculous and boring actually. When it comes to the exploitation part, the film delivers, there's plenty of gore and nudity. A scene where a Piranha eats a human penis and then spits it out comes to mind. There's also a lot of shots of the beautiful Riley Steele's body.
Having said that, the backdrop for the film is absolutely awful. It all comes down to a lot of angry piranhas in the sea and a lot of people in town because it's spring break and that's it. You know from the start that some people are gonna be bitten, some will get ripped to pieces, some will die but ultimately, the "heroes" will survive. The story is just not satisfying, at all..
In conclusion, I love Riley Steele's ass as much as the next guy but if that's the best thing Piranha has to offer, wouldn't the viewer be better off watching one of her porn scenes? It takes less time and it will probably be a better experience.
5.5/10
