Jason H @RT50328122 Sep 7, 2026 Bad acting. Bad dubbing. Bad dialogue. Bad effects. Other than that, this movie stinks. No wonder director James Cameron never did much after this.

The premise is preposterous. And it commits the ultimate sin of these dumb low-budget horror movies- it is not fun. See more r96 s @RT00952237 Feb 23, 2025 'Piranha II: The Spawning' is woeful. You'd expect more with James Cameron at the helm, but everyone has to start somewhere; he followed up with 'The Terminator' and 'Aliens' so he did alright! This, his feature directorial debut, is proper rubbish though. It's seemingly less to do with Cameron anyway in fairness, it sounds like producer Ovidio G. Assonitis had his hands all over this; Miller Drake was the original director, who Assonitis evidently fired. I think that speaks for itself. Either way, it's low-quality and I hold no positives. The editing is all over the place, there are moments where it cuts to characters for a relative few seconds for no apparent reason; notably with Chris & Allison and that random couple whose names didn't even register. Some of the character interactions, mainly early, are weird too. How the film utilises the piranha is the big issue, though. Unlike the Joe Dante original, we see so much of the fish that it becomes ineffective; less is more and all that. And that's without mentioning the biggest howler produced: they made them fly. It plays as terribly as it sounds. I don't have anything all that noteworthy to say about the cast, but to be honest this film's issues have very little to do with them. Tricia O'Neil is the standout if I had to pick one. Perhaps only an all-star cast would've saved this, but probably not given all the offscreen problems.

Ajouté à cela une histoire sans queue ni tête et on obtient un film tout simplement pas bon du tout. On reconnait cependant que les mouvement de caméra sont plutôt fluide et agréable à voir.
