Review of Piranha 3D (2010) by Cooterpatooter — 21 Feb 2012
Yeah, I get it... Piranha is meant to parody the "thing in the water" horror genre more than being an actual horror film. But the banner of parody does not excuse you from making a film worth watching.
After the one-millionth shot of gyrating twenty-somethings exposing themselves interrupted the already tissue-thin plot, my patience with this monkey business had completely evaporated. By the time the real carnage began and the film gathered some modicum of steam, my mind was already elsewhere and couldn't be bothered to return.
When the credits rolled, I realized that I had watched 90 minutes of nothing and a surprisingly good cast had been completely wasted, as well as my time. Not nearly as fun, campy, humorous or exciting as it pretends to be.
