Piranha 3D

En tant que fan de films d'horreur de série B et admirateur du remake de "The Hills Have Eyes" d'Alexandre Aja, son film "Piranha" ne m'a pas vraiment enthousiasmé. Aja a en effet un véritable talent de réalisateur, qu'il gaspille dans "Piranha". Il y traite un contenu que même un réalisateur médiocre comme Eli Roth gérerait à peine pire. Son "Piranha" est certes amusant, avec des baies nues qui plaisent, et un niveau de brutalité sanglante atteignant les niveaux les plus savoureux des massacres du genre (ce qui est rare de nos jours au cinéma), mais le film dans son ensemble semble bon marché et antipathique. La plupart de ses personnages vous agacent plutôt que de vous faire peur, car ils sont mal écrits et parfois mal joués. Au moins, cette plongée dans la grotte souterraine a un agréable aspect fantastique. Je passerai sous silence le doublage tchèque, la scène d'ouverture où Richard Dreyfuss émet les mêmes sons d'agonie sous l'eau que hors de l'eau en témoigne de son niveau (WTF ?!). (16/10/2010)

Un démarrage long, trèèès long, qui passe ensuite directement à la boucherie sauvage avant de s’achever vite fait. Je m’attendais à plus que ça, mais je n’étais pas non plus complètement déçu en sortant du ciné. (31/12/2010)

The massacre that occurs about half an hour before the end is truly unreal and unique. This great, uncompromising and quite imaginatively bloody scene was, however, the only thing that I really enjoyed in the film. There was a time (before puberty and partly during it) when I used to stare at the TV until two or three in the morning because of exactly this kind of crap... But those days are gone. I give two stars for the MEGA scene and for Lloyd and Dreyfuss. (03/04/2011)

A fine B-movie that's not so much about piranhas as it is about pretty girls (who end up being eaten by piranhas) and buckets of blood. Aja proves that a director can fulfilling his dreams no matter what genre he's in. Plus, the movie works. The final slaughter is unparalleled. If the fish weren’t so obviously computer-generated, there would be nothing to reproach. I was even sorry I didn't see one of the scenes in 3D. Yes, and Kelly Brook. A true guilty pleasure.

Piranha, boobs, boobs, boobs, piranha, boobs, boobs, piranha, blood, blood, penis, piranha, the end. B-movie AF that doesn’t take itself even a little seriously for most of the time, so anyone familiar with the established stereotypes of animal horror can have good fun or, during the first half, enjoy the beauty of, um, nature. The Czech dubbing only adds to the comedy, making Piranha at times feel like a thirty year-old sincerely naive, silly movie without any ambitions. That’s alright, Aja certainly had a good time shooting this film, but I was more satisfied when he worked, brilliantly, with tension in films like High Tension, The Hill Have Eyes, or even Mirrors. So, even though the beach carnage of the last fifteen minutes show that he has no competition today when it comes to gore, Piranha is still a little disappointing. And the 3D is not even worth mentioning, by the way. 7/10 (11/10/2010)
