Hell in the open sea What to expect from a film about a piranha attack in the middle of a summer youth holiday? Of course, a sea of blood, cruelty, beautiful half-naked girls and beautiful underwater shooting. All this in multiple sizes presents his new work remake man and a real master of horrors Alexander Azha. Having gained an extremely bright composition of stars of the second magnitude, he beats several simple plot faces in the bacchanlia of meat feasting and the madness of prehistoric fish that escaped from captivity to freedom.
Aja’s passion for meat visuals and brutality has always been a hallmark of his creations, the “Bloody Harvest” head torn off by a nightstand and the torn jaw of “Mirrors” remain in memory forever as the most eerie moments of violence in cinema, and in “Piranyas” the visual mastery of displaying all kinds of horror seems to reach its climax. The film is full of chic finds of all kinds of deaths, envy even the inventive traps of “Saws” or masked maniacs from slashers. A half-eaten hand from the water at the very beginning already hints that there will be something to look at and how to be horrified, then scene after scene cruelty strikes the imagination, and the bodies are torn in half, torn to pieces, grinded with paddle screws, stripping scalbs and crushing heads, and the fish that creeps out of the mouth should go down in the history of the most terrifying and impressive scenes of horror films. This list is just the beginning.
As soon as this hell begins in the open sea, it will be extremely difficult to describe what is happening on the screen in words. In one frame, dozens of people who at least lack pieces of skin, and at most - limbs. At the same time, the film successfully combines black humor (the scene with the penis will be remembered, perhaps all and forever), and tense scenes, so that the horror film still remains a horror film at least in its most culminating moments.
In second place after dismembered gnawed bodies here is eroticism. An incredible number of beautiful and naked girls, sparkling with the charms of their body for long periods of time. No wonder jumping on parallel worlds Jerry O’Connell played here the director of porn films. But of the characters, the most striking came the scientist performed by Christopher Lloyd, actually leading the information flow of the entire storyline, explaining and supplementing the plot.
The variety of beach beauties should not leave indifferent the male half of the audience. The beautiful underwater lesbian scene alone can overshadow the stunning eroticism of the last “Friday 13” and “Bloody Valentine” combined, and without naked girls, the last time the sea shots of such visual beauty were only in “Touristas”. So the construction of the frame and perspective in the film are verified and thought out to the ideal, and directing side by side with the camera work cause complete delight.
However, if the above-mentioned “Friday” and “Valentine” their meat part took old-school performance, an abundance of props and props, the “Piranha” is drowning in tons of computer graphics, and 3D, although they delight in places with successful moments, but still can not claim the best three-dimensional horror film. However, the stake in the film is not at all on technology, and in extreme cases, the viewer will simply have plenty of fun with the spectacle presented, occasionally writhing from the unpleasant appearance of gnawed limbs. Tons of meat are poured from the screen, unfolded bloody hell, and the only dead character, causing true pity, perhaps only the brave hero of Ving Raims, chopping the screw of aggressive toothy creatures.
Despite the flaws of the animation, and for the ears of the drawn ending, the film can safely be taken as a modern standard sub-genre of aggressive fauna, and about piranhas in particular, no early cheap thrash, shoot it even James Cameron himself, can not be compared with the magnificence of the new horror Alexander Azh, who manages and scare, and laugh, and just fascinate what is happening on the screen, exchanging for small things, and rapidly and aggressively developing this terrible, in a good sense, story. Excellent musical accompaniment to become a video series, will also please with its variety, framing acoustically every spectacular scene, whether it is dancing in swimsuits or swimming piranha with a first-person view. Azha created a magnificent genre film, justifying his status as a genius of modern horror.
