This is super cheesy b-movie nonsense featuring large man eating piranha fish which have been specially bred by the US military and then forgotten about. A nosey private eye strong arms a local into helping her find a missing person and they accidentally release the piranha into the local river system. The film then transposes into the plot of Jaws with a crooked mayor refusing to take the threat seriously because he doesn�t want to jeopardise his new development. The piranha eat random swimmers and fishermen as the pair of idiots who released them in the first place rush to warn everyone. This is very slow, has a low budget, features dodgy acting, a corny plot and terrible effects and it is played seriously. A truly terrible remake.
