Despite being among Earth’s top predators, humans
have long had a healthy fear of animals with pointy dentures. While we’ve been
able to overcome, and even subdue, some of our toothy horrors—think canines
that are now our best friends—there are others that will forever be the stuff
of our terrors, especially those with primitive, in-domesticable natures.
With their sharp, serrated teeth, piranhas constantly
rank among our greatest animal fears, despite actual scientific disagreement
about their conceived lethality. Consequently, these aquatic creatures have
been continuing sources of intrigue and top-grade nightmare fuel for moviegoers
the world over, pushing them back on the edges of their seats with vivid images
of terrifyingly toothy visages ripping off human flesh.
While regular piranhas are already terrifying enough
to give anyone a good fright, bringing their sizes up a notch—or even several—is
just plain asking for trouble. Fortunately for thrill-seeking viewers, and unfortunately
for the characters involved, that’s precisely what Mega Piranha does.
The story follows the escape of a genetically
modified strain of piranha (There surely isn’t anything wrong with genetically enhancing
an already scary fish, right?) from an isolated tributary of the Orinoco River
in Venezuela. What follows is… Well, one can probably guess what happens next.
If watching giant fish chow down on battleships
and nuclear submarines for lunch or leap out of the water and have helicopters
as snacks (Yum!) is your kind of thing, definitely check out Mega Piranha on free online movie streaming websites.
