Piranha [Blu-ray]

If you're the kind of person who takes all horror movies seriously then you won't have a fun time watching this movie. If you're the kind of person who realizes the purpose of this movie, being an over the top gory summer horror/comedy flick with tons of nudity, then you'll probably enjoy the hell out of it.Piranha has the basic creature/animal attack film premise. It's spring break and a remote town fills up the obnoxious college kids and a bunch of piranha's devour every single piece of flesh in sight. The thing that makes it different from all the other mindless creature films is that it is almost a parody of itself in the sense that it is a semi-serious movie that pokes fun at b-movies from a few generations ago.If you've read other reviews that mention how gory this film is, they couldn't be more correct. This movie is almost as gory as Dead Alive and, without giving too much away, makes a delightful reference to it in the film's climax and fans of Dead Alive will recognize the scene instantly. That alone makes this movie better than most others of its kind.In terms of substance, there are some pretty funny scenes and the gore itself is enough to keep you entertained. For all the movie buffs out there, there are some cool cameos by famous actors from similar movies including one in the very beginning.Nudity, there's PLENTY of it in here. You'd be a horrible parent if you let your child watch this if they're under the age of 17 seeing as there are scenes loaded with graphic, full frontal female nudity and a scene involving a man having his.... well.... manhood being taken from him in explicit detail if you know what I mean. The nudity is used mostly in a comic and over the top way and not intended to be sensual.All in all, this is a great movie for what it's worth and the perfect film to watch with a bunch of (mature) friends during the summer to keep you out of the water just as much as Jaws did and still does.

I missed this movie when it first came out in August 2010.I decided to see the movie with Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston that was playing on the same night in the same theater.I sort of regret that decision inasmuch as I would have loved to see this movie on 3d.However,there are no regrets in life.I decided to order this as soon as it was available January 11 2011 on Amazon.Thank you Amazon for shipping this promptly.What a classic "old school" 70's horror movie.It had all the gore,nudity,and horror comedy what can be known as 'black comedy". See, I am 43 and I grew up as a kid in the 1970's.These were the days of "Night of the Living Dead", and "Squirm". This movie centers on a beach community during Spring Break,and they are beset by an attack of killer piranha.What I loved was the set up before the attack and gore.the movie showed a bunch of rambunctious college students partying away like nothing bad will ever and can ever happen to them in life,Although,women may be offended at this movie inasmuch as it does objectify women as "bimbo's" in bathing suits to be lusted after,the firts half of the movie with the partying adds to the eventual suspense.Everything seems just swell.sex.drugs and rock n roll until the attack of the piranha.What ensues is awesome gore.The major scene where the piranha attack a group of partygoers has so much gore and suspense.Lots of mangled bodies and blood.You do not see this anymore in Hollywood movies because the studios want a PG 13 rating to sell the movie more.The nudity in the movie with the gore is reminiscent of the 1970's in film when studios were more liberal.What was classic as well in the film, was the deliberate silly,funny parts in the gore.True many old school horror movies were silly and campy-almost self deprecating.Moreover,there is a classic theme of the hero boy who eventually saves the woman=prince charming theme of some horror movies.Lastly, to see such beautiful,sexy females in bathing suits turn into mangled bodies by being eaten by piranha is alarming and truthfully shocking.This movie is really gory and has a good story.I was not bored at all during the movie it moved at a good pace.The performances were well done by the actors and actresses.I highly recommend this movie.It is rare to see a movie with a "hard" R rating these days.This movie bring 2011 back to the 1970's.Highly recommended.Don't miss it.It is fun to watch with a group of friends on a Saturday nigh for some laughs and screams.

The movie synopsis clearly lack of originality, basically: prehistoric piranhas released in a lake full of spring break celebrating teens.but the director do a great job hiding that fact with a lot of sexy / raunchy scenes. I may sound quite primitive said that way, but as a result the tone of the movie is changed and the second degree (or third ? ) is apparent and welcomed.Overall it is a pretty nice experience, i have some critics that prevent me to put a 5th star.First the end seems rushed, really rushed, and in my opinion introduce logic gap.Second the formulaic story is respected too carefully, i'd like to see more (in fact, any) unexpected event in what is clearly an half spoof production, i guess you can't make wave on a lake...3D:Overall a nice addition to my 3d collection. the underwater scenes are really good, especially the diving scene and the underwater-naked-dance (not just because of the naked part). Unfortunately, the rest is pretty standard, few good uses of the 3D.

To whom it may concern.I am satisfied with myPurchase from you today.

Everything was great, no problems
