Alright pals, today we’re diving into the murky waters of “Piranha 3DD.” It’s that sequel to “Piranha 3D,” so I bet you already have some idea of what you’re getting into – blood, bikinis, and probably more 3D shots of teeth than you ever needed in one lifetime.
I’m not gonna lie, the plot here is about as deep as a kiddie pool. We’ve got another piranha attack, this time at a waterpark, and it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. The main characters are cardboard cutouts – most of them are there to scream, run, and inevitably get chomped. It’s like they were plucked straight from a summer camp horror story we used to tell at ‘skara sommarland’. But hey, maybe that’s part of the fun?
The effects? Well, let’s just say the CGI piranhas still look as menacing as fish from my kid’s fish tank back in ’88. It’s campy, sort of in a charming way, but definitely not winning any awards. I mean, who needs realism when you have David Hasselhoff playing himself? That was one of the film’s few genuinely funny bits. His tongue-in-cheek attitude is like a slice of Västerbotten cheese – sharp and kinda satisfying.
Here’s something strange – I couldn’t help but feel a weird nostalgia. Back in ’91, I was fishing with my brother in Lake Vänern when he made up this outrageous story about “killer” fish to scare me. Watching “Piranha 3DD,” with its over-the-top gore and absurdity, brought me back to those days – half-believing, half-laughing.
If you’re in the mood for something completely brainless, maybe after a couple of beers with your buddies, this could be a hilarious ride. Just don’t expect depth, either in the story or the water.
