The New York Times once asked, “What is Jaws but a big-budget Roger Corman film?” Released to cash in on the first Jaws sequel, New World Pictures’ Piranha aptly proves the point, as a ravenous school of mutant piranha escape into a Texas river, threatening a youth camp and resort community. Joe Dante directs from a darkly humorous script by John Sayles, offering both a sly send-up of Jaws and a commentary on military-industrial greed. Featuring appearances by genre veterans Kevin McCarthy, Keenan Wynn, Barbara Steele, Paul Bartel, and Dick Miller. (HD presentation)
