Twelve years ago two incidents occurred that bore no similarity until now. The
Kendal family decided their pet baby alligator was a nuisance and flushed him
down the toilet. At the same time Slade Laboratories was conducting secret
hormonal experiments with dogs and the dead dogs were disposed of in the
city sewer. As the baby alligator fed on the dead dogs its body chemistry took
on grotesque mutations. In present day when several brutal murders are
discovered, David Madison (Robert Forster) is put on the case. But this is no
human psychopath - it is a ravaging animal-turned-monster bent on destroying
everything in its wake.

PIRANHA
(R, 1978, 92 min)


Roger Corman produced this shameless Jaws rip-off at the height of the
"nature gone wild" boom of American cinema and struck B-movie gold.
Scripted by John Sayles and directed by Joe Dante, this tongue-in-cheek
thriller stars Bradford Dillman as an antisocial mountain man and Heather
Menzies as a rookie detective who race a school of mutant piranha downriver.
Dante and Sayles provide the requisite blood and gore for this drive-in meat
market: a kids' summer camp and a waterfront amusement park await the little
beasties. Along the way, riverside retiree Keenan Wynn gets his ankles
stripped clean, camp counselor Paul Bartel is chomped on the cheek by a
hungry little bugger who takes to the air, and hordes of unlucky bathers are
caught in the center of a feeding frenzy.
