A fast-paced, campy, and humorous ride all the way, Piranha is a genuinely entertaining B film that recalls not only Jaws but many of the classic monster movies of the 50's. Joe Dante's direction is nicely done, keeping the energetic mood of the film high. The special effects aren't half bad, especially considering the limited budget. In fact the movie packs some truly gory images of half eaten corpses and flash torn faces. It also has one the goriest and most violent bloodbath endings in any horror movie, any movie that has small children getting torn to shreds is a winner in my book. Pretty much the holy grail of camp horror.
