Piranha (1996)

Better than the later remakes
This is the better of the remakes and more true to the 1978 original. I find it very enjoyable and thought the casting was excellent for the characters. But will still always prefer the original over all.

the first remake
This is a classic, need to watch for horror fans that enjoy some campy 80's style fun. It is the little known first remake of Paranha.

I like the cast
I like the cast, the actors actually act, the storyline was simple and the movie was going at an even pace. The only bad part ( spoiler alert) the piranha looked fake on screen. Considering the year it was made, and knowing that they couldn't use real piranhas, they did the best with what they had.

Pale imitation of the original, but fun anyway.
Follows the same exact formula as Joe Dante's 70's classic rip-off of JAWS, but with plenty of comedy elements (even borrowing a lot of footage from that film, in true Roger Corman cost-saving fashion), but still a fun little film, especially of you have not seen the original. Nothing fantastic, but a good film for a rainy day.

“Get out of the water!”
How cynical do you have to be to remake a classic but with inferior actors and a humorless script. The original film was meant to be ironic…this one isn’t. You’d have to really-really hate the original to do this to it―tantamount to assault and battery. I expect an apology from all involved. I’m waiting…

great horror
this movie is a great remake of roger cormans classic from 1979. i will always love roger corman and his great horror movies.

U.S. DVD is drastically cut
This barebones release would have sufficed if it weren't for the fact that the movie runs only an hour and 19 minutes long. The original runtime is an hour and 29 minutes--10 minutes have been edited out of the U.S. DVD release. As of now, the only way to get the full-length cut is if you have an all-regions DVD player and can score a copy of either of the region 2 DVD releases under the title Piranhas (they run an hour and 27 minutes, but that's because they are PAL discs and run at a faster frame rate than U.S. DVDs).
