Lake Victoria's annual Spring party by 50,000 young revelers is about to turn into a feeding frenzy with prehistoric hunger-pains. With knee-trembler's above the waves and tremors below, released from their dormant sleep, thousands upon thousands of flesh-eating nippers are released into the lake with whetted appetites and razor-sharp teeth. With a motley crew of strangers thrown together to defend these shores, it is now up to them to prevent the largest eat-out in human, and piranha, history. Written by

The casting is horrible, the soundtrack is terrible, the special effects are worthy of a Syfy channel movie and the story is so stereotypical you can literally predict what's going to happen in each scene.
One question kept nagging me as I forced myself to sit through this train wreck. Why are Ving Rhames, Jerry O'Connell, Steven McQueen, Jessica Szohr and Cody Longo even in this movie? It's almost as if someone wanted to take the worst of the worst and give them screen time. With Mcqueen, Szohr and Longo in it the movie looks like an episode of a CW series gone bad...and that's saying a lot because most CW shows are terrible as it is. Why you would cast such whiney, emo looking actors in anything I have no idea but where this movie is concerned I can only assume the entire casting budget was blown on Richard Dreyfuss and Christopher Lloyd, so the CW crowd was all they could afford.
As for the effects, don't expect much. If you've seen one of those really low budget Syfy channel movies then you've seen these kinds of effects before. They look worse then a video game cut sequence and you can spot them a mile away. The studio even went to the trouble of using CGI on the beer bottle in the opening sequence, all the fish and the majority of the under water shots. How nice of them. The few times you see any real effects work like blood and gore type stuff, it looks horrible. I'm pretty sure I've seen better makeup on twelve year old's at Halloween.
Do yourself a favor, go watch something from about twenty five years ago. It'll look better, cost less to see and you won't feel completely ripped off by the time the credits roll.
