Last weekend the TTH Team of Alex, Natasha and Katie caught up with the 3D sensation of the week: Piranha 3D at the Center Cinema 5 in Sunnyside, Queens. Although it features one-third of the cast of Back to the Future, the eighties movie that it’s more closely ripping off is clearly Jaws 3D. There was also a horror movie called Piranha which came out in 1978 (and was co-written by John Sayles!) but this wasn’t exactly a remake; more of a 3D re-imagining of how far you can go with the idea of man-eating piranhas. If you don’t mind gore, girls and more gore, definitely go check it out. Here’s our one-minute review:
