EARLY ACCESS: Piranha (1978) | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching
Added 2023-07-28 19:00:05 +0000 UTCStay Outta The Water!!! We both check out the Jaws-Inspired Roger Corman Produced Creature Feature, Piranha (1978), from director Joe Dante. Here's our reaction to our first time watching.

I think an actual good Piranha film could be done today. It's a known IP and could be made cheap because the CGI wouldn't be all that complicated. People's fear of what's in the water is a very easy thing to take advantage of. It's one of those IP's that's had multiple films made, but they've all been shlocky, goofy, and badly made. A bigger studio (like Blumhouse, Amazon, or Apple) and a good team could do something much better with it.

2023-07-28 23:13:43 +0000 UTCFirst watched this one sometime around the mid-80s when it was on a late night movie feature. The next day, my parents, brother, and I went over to visit some friends of ours at their house. While our parents hung out on the beach on their pond, we kids went in swimming. What I didn't know was that they had fish in their pond. So, I'm standing in chest-deep water when suddenly I felt something swimming around my ankles. First thing that went through my mind was the movie from the night before. I literally ran out of the pond. If you've ever seen Richard Pryor in "The Toy", it was just like that scene.
