Piranhas

Deadly genetically modified piranhas are accidentally released into a river, threatening the inhabitants and visitors of a summer resort town. Why see it: because at Wet Kingdom, we love Joe Dante. A piranha movie that takes on the US army and its secret programs, with a cast straight out of Corman: Dick Miller, Paul Bartel, Kevin McCarthy and the great Barbara Steele. Funny, bloody, and smarter than it seems, it's the film that revealed the future director of The Howling and Gremlins.
