SCIFIshant 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 (:

johnwiltshireauthor I came to this movie from a list on the Daily Mail of the top 10 movies Netflix viewers have apparently found too scary to finish. I've now discovered there might be another reason they did not finish this particular one. Having a brain maybe? I admit that I'm not the target audience for this. I don't want to watch young women in barely-there bikinis. I definitely don't want to watch them totally without their swimsuits. But I could put up with that for a good slasher flick. I thought this might be on par with Jaws or other man v rabid nature films. I didn't realise I would be watching Spring Break with bad acting. Give this a miss.

Julian R. White I can't even call this a movie, it's more like a massive porno with some fish thrown in. The plot is decent, I mean you can't go wrong with swarms of killer fish. But no, these are apparently prehistoric fish that somehow managed to survive with no food for millions of years in a cave. Okay? Well anyways, you can't go 10 minutes without seeing boobs, a butt, or someone doing something sexual. I realize this seems to be the staple for the newer low budget monster flicks like this, but give it a break. They also go WAAAAAY too far with the gore, and I mean they use an unnecessary amount of blood and carnage to shock audiences. If you're one of those people who feed off that kind a thing, then this is a movie for you. If you want something that's actually...ya know, good, it's not gonna be for you.

SnoopyStyle It's spring break at Lake Victoria and kids have gathered for their annual drunken party. Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames) and Sheriff Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) are trying to keep the peace. Kelly (Jessica Szohr) has come home from college and Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen) is still pinning for her. Derrick Jones (Jerry O'Connell) hires him as a guide for his video shoot. He has to babysit his siblings and recent earthquakes have released a school of prehistoric piranhas. Julie takes out a group of scientists to investigate the tremors. Jake ditches the kids and Kelly comes along for the shoot.It's fun to have Richard Dreyfuss killed off in a fish horror movie right off the bat. It sets the right campy tone. It's sexploitation horror. It knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to be more. It's got blood, gore and hot bods. The acting isn't too silly even with Jerry O'Connell. There are some good actors in this functional horror.
