    Porno NOT for kids/families

    by Nevrsaydie1988

    It's just sick. This movie is pretty much a porno. It's a shame cause it could have really been a good horror movie. Instead, it's just a trashy cheap flick that I walked out of.

    Campy movies can be great.

    by asojax

    First off if you enjoy a truly campy movie go see piranha 3D, just got done watching it, it's one of those movies that is so bad you have to laugh at it.

    This movie is not scary in anyway, the movie knows it's terrible from the begining to the end and it revels in it's total stupidity, there are a couple of moments where i have to wonder why this movie was "R" rated and not flat out NC-17, Jerry O'connel has the best line in the entire movie but if you wanna know what it is you have to see the movie.

    I do wonder when he read for the movie if he was like this guy has the worst lines i wanna play him and do it with a straight face hahaha, What ever the case maybe if you do like a truly campy experience where the movie is terrible, knows it's terrible and expects you to laugh at every stupid moment go see this film, otherwise stay away.

    *WARNING* Strong Sexual Content

    by TimRLF

    ***Parents be warned some content in this movie may not be appropriate for children***

    I work for a theatre so naturally i see a lot of films. To start off in my honest opinion this movie should have been rated NC-17. I would rate it that way mainly because of all the graphic nudity involved...to prove my point there is a 5 minute scene where all you're looking at is two fully nude women swimming and making out underwater. While I understand that kind of stuff does happen at massive spring break parties, it simply was not necessary to have in the movie. The story line itself was dry and lacked any appealing aspects. The death scenes where spectacularly done, however it would be good to note that myself and the other manager screening where physically ill after seeing some of the gore.
    If you enjoy gore and just want to see naked women then this is the movie for you.
