Piranha 3D
The three dimensions is now an excuse for anyone. This explains the revival of “Piranha”, a series of hopeless turnip Z does not contain terms satisfy fans of the genre. So imagine the rest!
The story is an eternal … but less good. In 1978, barely a year after the triumph of planetary “Jaws”, the director Joe Dante (a protege of Steven Spielberg who was later to stage the ingenious “Gremlins”) by offering a parody quite exhilarating. Without being a good film, “Piranha” to be entertained. The success was such a dismal result (courtesy of James Cameron) would see the day three years later, and a horrible remake in 1995. As the three dimension is fashionable these days, someone, somewhere, thought it might be a good idea to resurrect this nanar.
The scenario has almost nothing to do with the original version. Instead of a socially engaged premise (courtesy of the renowned John Sayles) that dealt with fish villains created during the conflict in Vietnam, these assassins are lethal to teeth now because of an earthquake that released from captivity. Now without a home, they can go eat their way to the flesh which is in the lake next door.
The only time drinking this feature is its introduction. A man played by Richard Dreyfuss (yes, the hero of “Jaws”) is on a boat and he is torn apart by terrible creatures. The tone is then launched “Piranha 3D” will be anything but politically correct, by running afloat as hemoglobin could do the Freddy or Jason of the first generation.
This is not a reason to take the viewer to a moron. The effort is for lovers of comedy, horror and gore will be the first audience to be disappointed. Although it is possible to laugh at one or two occasions, director Alexandre Aja is taken so seriously that his work is not completely of marble. The Robert Rodriguez or could indulge in the most total derision, the man noticed by the brutal “High Voltage” does not demonstrate any imagination, recycling expected situations that lack both suspense of humor, tension and horror.
They are however the two writers who remain responsible for failure of the left unchallenged. The cliches reign as absolute monarch, appearing every two seconds. The characters (some faces are recognizable, including Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames and Christopher Lloyd, Doc from “Back to the Future”) had nothing to do but become a buffet of their prey, and the conclusion leaves open consider suite, which is simply catastrophic. Feminists also want to consider this test completely misogynistic. Virtually all women are only to be in a bikini, smearing of beer, rubbing on anything that moves. This retrograde treatment worthy of the soft porn is a bad joke of course, the same chapter that this drugged youth who pass a bad quarter of an hour through the snowmen wicked seven hours. A concept of the right leaves a very bad taste in mouth. In one particularly evocative scene, a young man makes the boat heels, shredding his fellows rather than help.
“Piranha 3D” is a great work on human stupidity. It took a lot to deliver some thing so bad and indigestible, which has no difficulty in competing with “Furry Vengeance” and “Hot Tub Time Machine” as worst film of 2010. After three consecutive failures (the remake of “The Hills Have Eyes”, “Mirrors” and “Piranha 3D”), nobody can take seriously Alexandre Aja. All asked is to entertain by multiplying the corpses, he can not even make the slightest in the world.
