My ho my ! What have they done?! The original Piranha (Well the new original if that makes sense) had a certain charm. It was directed and co-written by a talented young European director (Alexandre Aja)who was clearly a fan of those "80's guilty pleasure" horror film. Sure there was some goofy part and plenty of boobs but Aja never let the film cross that line that would turn it into a horror spoof and it was a real love letter to those type of films. Now they made a sequel without Aja and honestly , they should have just called this "Scary movie 6" . This was like a spoof of the original. As gross out as the original was there was a certain class to it with plenty of cheeky winks to movie fans , this one on the other...not so much,there are no redeemable quality to it. It felt like it was made very fast to make a quick buck. Unlike the original , the surprise cameos are embarrassing to watch...Garry Busey ?!! That opening scene was scary for all the wrong reasons. On the plus side there are some funny moments between the Hoff and a red head little boy but those scenes can already be seen on-line. Normally I have plenty to say about a film even if it's a bad one but to be honest I am too lazy to spend more time commenting on that film.One of the worst film I have seen in a good while.
