One of the worst of the killer animal films I’ve watched recently. Everyone does the absolute minimum, especially James “Sure, I’ll be in your movie, but I don’t want to really do anything” Franciscus.
Even the flipping title fish don’t get to a whole lot of killing either!(And who thought it was good idea to give Margaux Hemingway dialog?!)
Killer Fish
The adventure that drags you in, pulls you under and tears you apart!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pulpy adventure thriller where danger comes from both the piranhas and your own crew. It's the kind of film that uses creature menace as the backdrop for a good old-fashioned heist double-cross.
