it looks like a twist on the Jaws poster and every other late 70s / early 80s beach based monster movie.
plus considering the amount of attention Snakes on a Plane got...

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's a comedy. Plus, it was directed by Joe Dante who did some decent stuff in his day sand it's written by John Sayles who also did a whole bunch of good stuff. So I've always been a little curious about it. Edit: Ah, strangely enough a preview for the remake just came on TV a minute ago. I'm guessing that's what you're talking about. You confused me by using the poster from the original movie. I had no idea they were doing a remake. |

I was way young when I saw Piranha. Freaked me out so bad. Then my dad thought he would be funny and told me he was going to put piranhas in my waterbed so they could bite me while I was sleeping. Wouldn't lay on it for about 2 weeks.
Shut up, I was like 6 when I saw it.

I used to love that movie when I was a kid.
I remember another movie about these bugs that made things catch fire, I'd love to see that one again. Edit: Oh here it is...

But then, no. It was just a bunch of biting fish. Hopefully the piranhas can at least do something new like bore under people's skin and then bite them from the inside out. I'd really like to see a movie in which insects around the world become resistant to pesticides, and so all sorts of people start getting some of these awful jungle infections, such as when little worms end up floating through your eyeballs. I think that would be much more disturbing than watching fish eat people, although the theme of nature getting its revenge by doing to people exactly what many people do to other animals is always one that interests me. I wonder how the Piranha movie makers are going to turn a beach evacuation into a 2 hour movie. It seems like a few people would just need to shout "Shark!" and the beaches would be cleared in about 3 seconds, voila, problem solved!
