What is Jaws/Piranha about?

Double Feature: JAWS, 1975, Universal, 124 min. Dir. Steven Spielberg. Roy Scheider is a sheriff confronting crowds of sunbathers, self-serving local politicians and - most importantly - a monstrous great white shark over the July 4th weekend. With Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss. PIRANHA, 1978, New World Pictures, 94 min. Dir. Joe Dante. Screenwriter John Sayles cleverly riffs on JAWS in this early directorial effort from Joe Dante, in which a school of deadly mutant piranha head for a sleepy summer community. Combining crisp action with razor-sharp satire, this is one of the best films to come out of producer Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Joe Dante will introduce PIRANHA (schedule permitting).
