I went into this film expecting lots of blood, bewbies, and carnage. With those lowly expectations, the film delivered. The cast actually had veteran actors who played up their roles to the hilt, which made a lot of the scenes hilarious, undercutting some of the insane mayhem and tension from the impending piranha attacks on their human prey. Viewed with the right mindset, this film is a lot of fun in how it shows the effects of the piranha attacks. There is some strong R-rated gore in terms of depiction of damage inflicted upon the victims, and the language used reflects real world reaction to being in the midst of the chaos. If you go into this film expecting strong characterization, you'll be let down, but if you just accept that the film sets out to maximize all the trappings of such a genre movie, it pays off well.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
