Piranha

Piranha (1978)
Dir: Joe Dante

A summer resort is terrorised by genetically altered flesh-eating piranha.
A cheesy rip-off of 'Jaws' that luckily doesn't take itself too seriously. The story is poor and there are bizarre moments along the way that are laughably bad. The cast try their best though and the special effects are excellent, the shots of the piranha attacking are brilliantly executed and genuinely terrifying.
