From director James Cameron comes the trashy exploitation film _Piranha Part II: The Spawning_. The story follows an island resort that gets attacked by genetically mutated piranha. The flying piranha effects look ridiculous and aren’t the least bit frightening. Also, the characters are poorly written and the acting leaves much to be desired. _Piranha Part II: The Spawning_ is an extraordinarily bad film that Cameron has since disowned, and rightly so.

Piranha II is another sequel that can't hold a candle to the original. Not even being directed by James Cameron can't help it. It's got nothing that excites much at all. The story leaves a lot to be desired, the acting isn't up to par, and the even the kills are rather unimaginative. I did, however, like the flying Piranha. Those were actually kinda neat. Unless you want to watch all four, stick with the original Piranha and 3D.

>"The bastards fly!" You can tell James Cameron had his love for certain color grading even back then. The look is still pretty good and there are some cool scenes. That being said, the movie in general is not good.

Credited as directed by Cameron, most of the work done on this movie was by Assonitis. Cameron did however provide the work on the "special effects' and clearly rubber fish (whose designs would later return in a more well known franchise). The movie has the flair of a small Italian man screaming "More fish!" at his crew. Plagued with tonal horrors and incredibly obnoxious side characters, this movie is an absolute delight in being as bad as it is. It's completely devoid of any vision or creativity and reeks of dictatorial leadership in making it. As a result, it creates a framework that barely holds on to its hinges.

You've finally got a fix for "Hey you can beat this villain by just staying out of the water" and then they **barely ever use it**. Sure, it makes no sense that the piranha can fly, but seeing as they can, you may as well have used that ability to the max. But 99% of the victims are still water-boun More
