After a science experiment creates a series of rapidly-evolving piranhas is loosened upon Venezuela, a Special Forces team must stop them before they get to American soil eating their way through everything they can in the process.This one was a pretty typical Sci-Fi Channel creature feature, so this one has a ton of stuff to like about it. Among the best parts of this one is the film's rather big action scenes here, filled with plenty of high-energy scenes featuring the usual assortment of scenes here. There's the rather fun quicker encounters of the creatures launching attacks on the local's boat, a great battle with the Venezuelan soldiers against the creatures which quickly turns into a massive slaughter of the soldiers, a further salvage operation that gets wiped out by the creatures and a rather frantic chase scene in the jungle where the creatures take out the scientific expedition sent to study them which gets only more fun once it gets out of the jungle terrain as the scenes of them on the beach is quite fun. What makes all of these early scenes so enjoyable is that he fact that they're discovered and featured here quite early on, not only helping to deliver positives with the frantic pacing and full-on action but also brings about the rather impressive feat of making the authorities seem more logical and rational rather than the typical clueless authorities. As well, this furthers the main action along the later half here with some outstanding confrontations of the creatures attacking and chomping everything they can while the military tries to contain and destroy them resulting in the numerous creature attacks on submarines, boats, helicopters add then chewing through the city in a frantic city-wide destruction scenes that is highly enjoyable for its wide-spread sense of chaos and cheesy action. Added by the strong, fierce image of the creatures and frantic gore and bloodshed here, those are enough to hold off the few flaws. The biggest issue here is the rather lame storyline involving the general's attempts to track them down for his perception of their involvement in the situation. The rationale he uses to justify this makes no sense here as this simply screams like an excuse to turn him into a villain unnecessarily just to provide another obstacle to overcome. Not only that, but the fact that he continues going out of his way to get them results in some extreme measures that aren't questioned enough for what they've done. As well, there's also the usually-typical CGI for the creatures here which comes off rather lame trying to integrate the creatures into the scene or the action provided look goofy and unrealistic. These here are what hold this one down.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

We need them big, we need them strong, we need them more meaner... and so Asylum come up with giant piranha movie that is certainly bad directed, ugly edited, badly filmed with the camera... the camera man was obviously drunk nearly in every scene. Acting is amazingly disgusting... especially from our leading man Paul Logan. The story is about... well, you know, just like the movie title says... a giant piranhas. These piranhas mutated and grow bigger and bigger just to give us a terrible ending. A merciless scenes of large stupidity that insults intelligence. I don't know... was director Eric Frosberg drunk? High? Or maybe he's an idiot? I don't understand what makes Asylum going on and on to waste people's money and time with their Z movie crap. I mean there are such scenes in which people deliberately jumps off the boat into the water... so anxious to get eaten, huh? Paul Logan who defends himself from piranhas while on land by kicking them as they come on to him one after another... and the scene where all piranhas are jumping out of water on the land in some kamikaze style... don't think I made some spoiler here, I don't care, this movie already spoils your brain.Now, the actors... Our incredible leading man Paul Logan... damn... this guy... I have never seen a face like this for a long time. I thought that Steven Seagal is a master for having a same face for every emotional situation, well... Logan guy can inherit that style of acting from Seagal easily. Logan plays Finch a marine who is sent to investigate what happened in Amazon after a piranha attack. Logan, besides he can't change his face, he talks quietly in some scenes, he sounds like a retard... it's really amazing. And Tiffany... oh dear me... Just like Debbie Gibson, she has a washed up career in music, just like in the films. And just like Debbie Gibson... we can easily say for Tiffany that her life career is sealed with crap and no smart work at all. Tiffany... does she have a last name? That pretentious co*ksucking bi*ch... Her character is silly, does she look like a scientist to you? She doesn't even look like a heroine in the usual action film, she is fat and ugly... far from some sexy, "smart" scientist. Ugh. She and Logan made some kind of romantic connection in the film and that resulted with the kiss on the end, but... there was nothing emotional between them... nothing at all.Don't waste your time here... you have something better to do... kill yourself.

Oh,why did I record this? Maybe I thought it would be good but it was not.Boy what came upon me of WATCHING this?I mean they have this guy, right, who can kill the piranha by kicking them! Whats up with that?And the helicopter shoots 20 foot bullets at the river that kill 50 foot piranha, but I still see ducks.How do they survive?And it is not even titled right it should be Mega Horrible . And big,big piranha jumping OUT of water, in the city, and EXPLODING? Exploding? Really, wow.but they do tell how the fish' size comes about, the science experiment. This movie makes a new genre, Horr-able. But, there are 50 foot and up piranha killing people, right? That is very entertaining!And, besides, who cares if they're animated, can you do better?

From film company The Asylum comes another spectacularly crappy low budget C-grade exploitation shocker. This is the same studio that specialises in releasing a number of cheap, low budget knock offs of well-known movies straight to DVD. They gave us the recent Megashark Vs Giant Octopus, which found unexpected success as a cult favourite. A cheap rip off of Alexandre Aja's recent Piranha 3D, Mega Piranha was originally made for television, but has gained a season of special late night screenings at the Nova cinema as part of its Cult Cravings program. As the title suggests, this one features some genetically modified and unusually aggressive piranha that pose a threat to the population of Venezuela. They are moving rapidly through the South American waterways headed towards the ocean and ultimately the United States. The fish are also growing exponentially bigger, and it seems as though nothing can stop them. After they kill the US ambassador, the country's foreign minister and a couple of topless party girls, the US government sends in a special agent and troubleshooter Jason Fitch (played by Paul Logan, from The Terminators, another Asylum production) to try and avert disaster. With the help of a couple of flaky scientists who were responsible for creating the genetic mutants in the first place, Fitch tries to find a way to destroy them. There's also a power hungry South American colonel (David Labiosa) who has his own agenda. And the US government itself is represented by none other than the original Greg Brady himself - Barry Williams, playing a powerful envoy named Bob Grady. This is deliberately bad film making, but it is more fun than Megashark. The limitations of the budget are particularly obvious, especially during some shoddy CGI special effects sequences. There are some unintentional laughs here, especially as the obviously fake giant piranha leap out of the water to swallow people whole or impale themselves on buildings. Director Eric Forsberg (who has written a number of films for The Asylum, including Snakes On A Train, War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave, 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea, etc) also uses lots of stock footage throughout. If you look closely, you can also see that some of the establishing shots have been lifted straight from Megashark Vs Giant Octopus. The dialogue is clunky and laughable. The largely unknown cast also features faded 80's pop star Tiffany, and Logan. But the performances are uniformly one dimensional and wooden. I wanted to see a giant piranha eat Greg Brady – now that would have made the film truly unforgettable!
