Review of Piranha 3D (2010) by Marcdoyle — 21 Aug 2010
After seeing "My Bloody Valentine 3D", I was skeptical that a really good and campy horror film could be done in 3D without resorting to idiocy. Piranha 3-D does it. It plays up the jiggle sex to the hilt, but it also has a heart courtesy of Elizabeth Shue and her screen family.
Ving Rhames is awesome in a limited role, and Christopher Lloyd is at his Back To The Future best. But the money shots - the scenes of blood-and-gutsy gore are incredible. Picture a girl's hair getting caught in a motorboat's propeller while a panicking teenager in the boat tries to get the motor re-started.
What comes of that scene will be stuck in my head for at least the night. But not what you would expect, mind you. It's a funny, funny movie.
