Piranha 3DD


Okay guys a couple of years ago I gave you a review of Piranha 3D.

Being that I am a huge fan of the original Roger Corman produced Joe Dante directed creature feature I was looking forward to the 2010 Alexandre Aja helmed reimagining and it delivered. Piranha 3D succeeded in scoring at the Box Office with its gratuitous nudity, Bikini Babes and even more gratuitous gore and a high cheese element.

  Well as is the golden rule in Hollywood when a Horror flick is made that makes high profitable returns especially when the executive producer and distributer has the last name Weinstein well a sequel inevitable.

Not that I have anything against the Weinstein Company or Dimension Films for that matter because I am a huge fan of them and their movies. I’m just saying that sometimes a flick is profitable and there is no keeper of the light and they will rush the Sequel out before it needs to be released or in some cases they are released because all that they want is the easy profits that will come from an early summer horror release…At least it is not PG-13.

Well Piranha 3DD is no exception to this rule.

Now the first thing that I want to point out about this flick is that it was originally set to be released in November of 2011 but the Studio felt that it needed a later release.

I also feel the need to point out that Piranha 3DD was released in limited theatres the same day that it is released On Demand as well as Downloadable.

So in other words don’t expect a long Theatrical release this flick is going straight to the profitable media.

Now let us go in to the flick.

This flick takes place one year after the massacre at Lake Victoria in the previous film. The lake has been poisoned and the Piranha are thought dead. That is until a new water park is having its grand opening and The Piranha have found underground rivers that go right into the reservoir to the Water Park and they can also survive in Chlorine.

Well you can all guess what happens.

I would definitely recommend checking this flick in a theater that serves beer as well as bringing a group of friends to watch it with however this flick is not for everyone.

They definitely turned up the gratuitous nudity in this flick but I am really not complaining about that.

Piranha 3DD is helmed by Feast director John Gulager and his tough it definitely noticed here.

One of the rules in Gulager's films is the simple rule of anyone can die anytime.

Gulager also has a certain type of humor that he brings to his films his flick is also definitely a spoof of sorts. It has some “Gross out Humor” moments that I am willing to forgive and some other moments that make you say WTF.

Other than that the flick is relatively short.

The pool Massacre is really short but really how long can that scene be. David Hasslehoff has a much bigger role than originally expected and does some humorous spoofs of himself that make you laugh despite yourself, and the Baywatch Parodies are just genius.

Fans of Feast will definitely like this flick, not to mention fans of Beer that want to have a frat party.

You will definitely enjoy the Cameos by Gary Busey and John Gulager’s father Genre great Clu Gulager
