Synopsis

A Jaws exploitation film produced by Roger Corman, featuring mutant piranhas resulting from a secret military project that voraciously devour everything they encounter in the ocean. Entertaining and straightforward, Dante's electrifying solo feature debut stands out thanks to his characteristic dark humor, its fast pace, and an innate ability to transform a low-budget film into a fascinating summer blockbuster.
