Piranha (1978)
5/10
A cheap cash in on Jaws

Warning: Spoilers
First time I have watched this original version. The film has had numerous sequels and 3D incarnations over the years.

It was made in 1978 and it has aged in parts from print quality to fashions and appalling special effects compared to CGI.

The film is a Jaws rip off in several scenes. From the Jaws arcade game. Water skier. An arrogant water park owner wearing a white suit who is the spitting image of the Amity mayor in Jaws.

A watchable 90 or so minutes but far from classic! The acting is very 1970s Australian soap opera territory.
