1978, 94 minutes, Rated M

Man has meddled again with mother nature and the result is not only deadly... it's voracious! With a clever screenplay written by John Sayles (Apollo 13) from a story by Richard Robinson, director Joe Dante (Gremlins) create an eerie and devilishly fun tlae of mutant piranha terrorising a local swimming hole.

On an inviting tranquil evening, two venturesome teenagers take a moonlit skinny-dop in the inviting wares of Lost River Lake... little did they know they would quickly become fish food for a hungry school of man-eating piranha! Their deaths prompt an investigation that reveals a governmental cover-up of a top secret experiment called Operation Razorteeth.

And it only gets worse. These insatiable, gilled monsters are heading downstream where a newly opened summer resort will give them a smorgasbord of tasty vacationers, unless a brave outdoorsman (Bradford Dillman) and a sharp, beauitufl investigator (Heather Menzies) can stop their deadly spawn... for good.
