Reviews:
Once again, The Asylum slaps on the prefix "mega" on one of its microbudgeted creature features. This time around, it's MEGA PIRANHA (2010), a ferocious fish story that almost justifies itself through its sheer audacity.
Scientists (pop star Tiffany, Jude Gerard Prest and Jesse Daly) working at a UN laboratory in Venezuela, accidentally release a strain of genetically-engineered super (or "mega") piranha into a local river. Now, these finny fiends are more than just voracious carnivores - they can gnaw through wood and metal boats, leap through the air, and can reproduce asexually. Even more impressively, they double their size every hour or two, and are headed downriver toward the open sea. When an American ambassador is killed in an early attack, a secret agent (athletic Paul Logan, TERMINATORS, MEGAFAULT) is dispatched (by government "secretary" Barry Williams, THE BRADY BUNCH) to South America, where he teams up with the scientists to battle the gargantuan guppies.
Written & directed by Eric Forberg with amusingly inconsistent visual effects by Rogue State, MEGA PIRANHA is cheerfully stupid and briskly paced nonsense. The dialogue is ludicrous, the characters are one-dimensional, and the shoestring budget is evident in almost every shot. But - the story structure is actually pretty sound, with a constantly-escalating threat that gives the flick some genuine momentum. If the ultimate solution to the threat seems rather anticlimactic, it's only because Forberg has systematically built his monsters into something truly formidable - too much so, in fact, since he ends up writing himself into a narrative cul de sac.
MEGA PIRANHA's not especially good, but it is entertaining. I laughed out loud pretty much every time a giant piranha leaped from the surf to crash suicidally into a building, which would then inexplicably explode. The scene where Logan fends off an attack of multiple jumping fish monsters by lying on his back and kicking them away is so ridiculous, that you have to grin at the audacity of the filmmakers. Someday, though, The Asylum should really hire a screenwriter who can actually pen human-sounding, witty dialogue....
Review:
The U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela dies when his party boat sinks into the Orinoco River and officials automatically assume it was an assassination. Secretary of State Bob Grady (Barry Williams) calls in Jason Fitch (Paul Logan) to remedy the situation. Fitch is the most muscle-bound “analyst” the government employs and is viewed as the only man for the job (despite the endless resources available to the U.S. government). He is to review the situation with military leader Colonel Diaz (David Labiosa) and find out what was responsible for the ambassador’s death. Upon arrival, Fitch is met by Sarah Monroe ('80s pop-star, Tiffany), a scientist who warns him that genetically engineered piranhas are behind the incident.
Colonel Diaz puts on a great show of bravado against the overly macho American, and is quick to dismiss the scientist’s claims as those of a money-hungry opportunist. Fitch soon discovers that there really are giant piranhas in the river and they are only kept at bay by a giant beaver dam. Diaz orders an air strike against the fish and destroys the dam with rockets that somehow manage to miss the fish. Now free to swim where they please, the piranhas set a course for the United States with the added bonus threat of doubling in size every 36 hours.
Secretary of State Grady is informed of the situation and orders a nuclear strike on the fish. When that fails it is once again up to the giant muscle known as Fitch to save the day. Pressed for more information on the piranhas, Dr. Monroe admits to creating them to help feed the planet (?!), but shows zero remorse at the volumes of death and chaos she is responsible for as well. For unknown reasons, Colonel Diaz takes his failed air strike as a personal attack and must now punish the crazy Americans and sets out to capture or kill anyone in his flight path.
Our heroes make their way along the river devising inept schemes for fish containment while evading the ego-maniacal Colonel Diaz and his men. The clock is ticking as the U.S. government prepares for an even larger nuclear response before the fish reach the size of elephants and attack Washington D.C.
Jesus Christ, I don’t know where to begin. Mega Piranha is everything it should be and more, yet still manages to leave an after-taste of disappointment. While stronger than the average monster movie of late, this film is packed to the gills with countless clichés and suffers due to the breakneck pace of telling this epic tale in 90 minutes for pennies on the dollar.
Every time I feared I had had enough, the filmmakers sensed my anxiety and ratcheted up the action at the precise moment necessary for me to stay tuned. Countless times our heroes are thrust into no-win situations only to defy all odds and emerge unscathed. The action sequences offer some of the best imagery The Asylum has ever brought to the screen — including giant fish leaping into tall buildings.
Oh - I actually liked the song that Tiffany sings over the closing credits. It has nothing to do with the movie, but she sings it well.
The Asylum DVD presents MEGA PIRANHA in a perfectly satisfactory 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Audio options are 5.1 Surround and 2.0 stereo. Bonus features consist of a "Making Of" featurette, a blooper reel, and trailers for other Asylum movies.
It's better than the same studio's MEGASHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS, if that counts for anything, and if you enjoy giant monster movies, you may want to check it out when they rerun it on the SyFy channel. But if you have no patience for unconvincing CGI helicopters and carnivorous fish, bad acting and utterly imaginary "science" - or if you actually expect a movie called MEGA PIRANHA to be "good" - save yourself the irritation and give it a pass.
