So underrated ...


This is an amazing horror-comedy. Great footage, production-value, actors, gore and satire. Deserves least a 7 overall. 9 for me - an avid horror/gore fan. I really love when they add some dark comedy/satire to it.

As I am male, I also appreciate the extensive use of the naked female body in this movie.

The guy that directed this also made the Hills Have Eyes remake, which was such an excellent movie. He (Alexander Aja) seems to really know his horror for the big screen.

i just finished re-watching it and... it took a hit this time around which i think makes for my 2nd viewing of the movie (maybe 3rd tops). i liked it on initial viewing but it does not hold up on a re-watch.

i would say it's rated about right (i.e. high 5's for the average) as it's one of those movies that's decent enough to see once, assuming you know what to roughly expect from it, but nothing i will see again at this point as i can easily see why many won't care for it. i would say the best thing about it is Elizabeth Shue pretty much.

6/10 ; Thumbs Down.

you are right about everything you said about how good this film is. it's such a great film. It was a really good film to me personally. From a critical stand point this film is a 7 or 8 out of 10. the thing is though I wasn't really entertained by the first 30 minutes. But after It got to the 30 minute mark and then the piranhas started attacking and killing people, "oh my gosh" it went into overdrive. I have to tell you horror is my favorite genre of film and I've seen hundreds of horror films and I've never seen the kind of frenetic energy on display and in this film when the piranhas attack and kill people, it's fascinating, heart pounding, outstanding, frantic and timeless. Every single time a piranha attacked or killed a person it was spellbinding, captivating, intense, suspenseful, and intriguing. from the time the piranha attacks started until the end of the film this film goes into the stratosphere, this film then has so much amazing energy to it, it's relentless in it's overall excitement, fury, and scintillating entertainment(I'm talking about the underwater naked model swimming scene) and all the boobs shown by all the bikini girls. this film rules! I loved all the female nudity. gosh dam# I hadn't seen as much nudity in a mainstream Hollywood film ever and still haven't as far as how many different women show nudity in this film. I, like you really appreciate the naked female body. it is to me the most beautiful thing that is in this world. I mean how could anyone disagree with that? what image could possibly be more beautiful?

Have you ever seen a mainstream Hollywood movie with as many women showing nudity?

What did you mean by great footage?
