Gimly 5/10

It's tough to commend any actual parts of the '95 remake of Piranha, but it's actually quite fun to group watch purely because it's so dated. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

Aside from those mentioned bits, the rest is quite literally a repeat of the Joe Dante movie; down to the dialogue. Some of the…
