Film: Piranha 3D (Alexandre Aja, 2010)


A film that aims to be trashy and succeeds with gusto. Obviously chopped to shit in the editing room and ends precisely where the third act should start but what's here delivers on its promise of gratuitous nudity and gore. It's fun crass b-movie stuff that's paced well and knows exactly what it is. Watching it with the cheesy red/blue cardboard 3D glasses actually added to the fun, the cheep 3D better than the shite 2D conversion job found in the cinema.

I have no problem with films like this. Belongs in the same group as Tremors and Freddy vs. Jason.

3/5
