Alexandre Aja, the gifted French filmmaker who has so far had the cajones to tackle remakes of Wes Craven’s 1977 wilderness horror The Hills Have Eyes and feted J-horror Mirrors, finally tackles the big one – Joe Dante and John Sayles’ 1978 frat comedy horror Piranha. It’s not as cheap, fun, camp or generically incisive as the original but it is a lot of fun and Aja is all too clearly channelling Spielberg’s Jaws rather than Dante’s B-movie but the 3D really helps and stars Ving Rhames, Elizabeth Shue, Christopher Lloyd and, most pertinently of all, Richard Dreyfuss are clearly all in on the joke.
