With the release of Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D we thought we might as well jump on the band wagon and give our two cents on the original and some say them best fishy feature out there, Piranha by Joe Dante.
Riding on the coattails of what is the best fishy feature, Jaws; many film-makers tried to capitalize on the fear of the water. However, with Universal‘s army of lawyers ready to smack down any type of copy that pocked it’s head out the water many were caught and gutted like the sprats they were. Though one lucky fish managed to escape the net of the lawyers, with a bit of help from Spielberg himself and went on to become a cult classic, Piranha.
Another review from our guest writer Ross Tipograph. This time he brings us a review of the 2005 break-out hit The Decent.

The head warden of Kim Newman’s Video Dungeon has yet again let some of the depraved and deranged of the ‘straight to DVD’ world to escape into the general populous.
We have offerings from the east, with the Japanese again supplying some top class dungeon fodder. From the states we have intergalactic shenanigans and buxom slave girls and from Europe we have Kim’s Dungeon Breakout release to make it a truly international affair.
There are many other films that have been reviewed by Kim, which can be found in the August issue of Empire Magazine (uk).
