Reviews
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
timodo A Wonderful Comic/Monster WaterFest !!! Jessica Sonneborn is Spectacular Portraying a distraught Stripper; & Ashe Parker UnderGoes a Stunning Transformation into a Gloriously Beautiful Woman ! Kristina Page & Noel Thurman, in a Dual Role, Also put in Great Performances ! It's No Wonder that Kevin Sorbo has such a Hard Time keeping his pants on amidst these Lovely Ladies & a Bevy of Other Beauties !!! Ramona Mallory & Collin Galyean Do a Fabulous Job leading the Cast in this Action Adventure; & Al Snow shows Us a Slightly Different Side to his usual Persona ! It's Great Fun for Landlubbers & Seafarers Alike !!!
Michael_Elliott Piranha Sharks (2014) ** (out of 4)A bunch of lab people create sharks that are the size of piranhas but contain just as much danger. Soon these are being sold as "hot Christmas items" but before long they begin eating people.PIRANHA SHARK is pretty much what you'd expect out of a made-for-TV movie called PIRANHA SHARK. We've basically got a rather silly idea and all of the silly nature plays out in front of your eyes for the 80-minute running time. If you're already familiar with these types of movies then you know what to expect and for the most part this one here is decent. There are certainly much worse out there while this doesn't quite reach the levels of something like SHARKNADO.I thought the actual highlight of the picture where the sharks because they were rather fun and the attack scenes were decent especially one lady who is taking a bath when the creatures show up. While this is the highlight of the film there's no doubt that the disappointment comes from the fact that there aren't enough of these scenes. There is way too much time with characters just rambling dialogue and it's too bad we didn't get more action.The performances are pretty good for the most part with Kevin Sorbo getting the richer role as the Mayor who must please his voters or at least appear to. I thought Sorbo was rather fun in a role that joked on his looks to women and his way of being able to get away with anything.PIRANHA SHARKS isn't a masterpiece, that's for certain but at the same time it's a decent "C" movie that has some mild entertainment.
Paul Magne Haakonsen I purchased this movie from Amazon, well expecting it to be a low budget creature feature, although I had hoped that it would be one of those fun ones; you know, the ones that are so bad that they are actually fun to watch. But that was not the case with "Piranha Sharks".First of all, the DVD was titled "Jurassic Piranha". Wait, what? Seriously? How could the movie end up with a title so deviant from its original title, unless it being an attempt to cash in on something else. Especially since there was nothing even remotely prehistoric about the creatures in the movie. They were man-made and tinkered with in a Laboratory.Right, well moving on. The story is about a company which have the idea of cross-breeding sharks and piranha, and selling them as pets to families. The creatures, of course, grow quickly, have an endless appetite and start to mutate. Soon the entire city of Manhattan is in dire peril at the ferocity of these vicious toothy fishy killers. And it is up to a small group of local exterminators to save the entire city of Manhattan from extermination, be it from the piranha sharks or from the US government who wants to drop nuclear bombs to contain the piranha sharks.Indeed. Yeah, that was the scope of the ludicrous storyline. Simple? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Entertaining? No.The CGI effects in "Piranha Sharks" is among the top three of bad special effects that I have ever witnessed in a movie. It was so bad that it went beyond bad. Trust me.And the acting in the movie was as to be expected from a movie of this genre and type. But I had never expected an actor like Kevin Sorbo to appear in a movie such as this.I still managed to sit through the entire movie, despite it being so bad. Why? Well, I was hoping that it would get better, or at least turn into something so bad that it would be funny. But no, it just kept on being bad in a bad way. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Piranha Sharks".I am rating "Piranha Sharks" a mere one out of ten stars.
vengeance20 Got this in a supermarket under the name 'Jurassic Piranha' & knew it was going to be one of those SyFy films with cheap nasty effects & loads of clichés & bad script etc.I wasn't surprised as it had cheap CGI effects, over used clichés & a very short run time of 73 minutes. But weirdly enough I liked it. Somehow the story-line was a bit far fetched, I mean come on, they were going to nuke the entire city over Piranhas? And what's more we saw no other attacks aside from the people involved in the film? And alcohol killing them a weakness? It was all very stupid indeed & the film did feel rushed & very WOAH if you know what I mean! But you get what you paid for! After all, it did cost me only £3 in ASDA! But still it was a OK film with sh!t loads of flaws but somehow washed with me enough. It's fantasy mixed with horror & was alright, but not as good as Sharktopus or Lake Placid 2, that film especially showed it's form a cheap CGI at it's biggest form, but these films you expect them to be sh!t, with crappy effects, bad story-line a dumb way to kill off the monster at the end some nut head scientist & babes & muscle men etc. Along with bad effects & far fetched story-lines it's what you get & some are better than others being honest!Overall, this film was bearable & watchable for a quick flick! 6/10
