A small town most of the time but not during spring break. During spring break hundreds of college kids come to party at the lake. But now there is one problem, thousands of ancient piranhas have been discovered and now wreak havoc on the college kids. This is what makes a ridiculous B-movie. At the same time, watching Piranha you get the sense that the filmmakers understood that's exactly what the movie is. It is a ridiculous B-movie that is made in a way that it is purposefully bad. It truly is by no means a good movie. In fact, it's down right terrible other than some of the acting. But it is a riot, a fun film to be watched for the sheer joy of completely mindless entertainment. It is also what could be considered the perfect mainstream college guy flick. It is a film that is jam packed with nudity, blood and gore. But I do wonder what it's saying when all the porn stars die. But in the end Piranha won't scare you. Rather it will make you laugh. And really I think that's the point.
