"Piranha 3D": Nowhere to run is to die

When I was very young, I learned from books that there are piranhas in the Amazon, which can eat a creature in an instant until only a skeleton is left. So I put it together with sharks in my mind, they all eat people without blinking, and they can't survive when they encounter them.

Coincidentally, both of these creatures have also been made into horror movies, and MS is the only creature in the water that can create a killing effect. On land, if you encounter danger, at least you know to hide, hide, or run to the terrain that is beneficial to you; while in the water, there is no other way than to swim away desperately and to the shore.

Water, the place where these murderers lived, was also a good cover, enough to make anyone still in the water suffer. Sharks are fighting alone, with limited attack targets and will not cause great harm to the group. Therefore, piranhas look even more terrifying. They will attack on a large scale, and they are extremely fast in the water. Once a target is selected, they will be eaten alive.

In fact, this film was released with a 3D gimmick, which is a bit strange, but after watching it, you will understand where 3D will be used. The underwater play in the film (to avoid trouble, no sensitive words) is really beautiful, and the time span is also long. I believe it can make 3D audiences feast their eyes. As for those bloody pictures, the 3D effect actually amplifies the horror, and it is not necessarily suitable for the faint of heart.

But to be honest, these kinds of films are very cliché, and you can almost feel it after watching a lot. Even the people in every scene that appeared basically had a hunch that he would die, or that he was just frightened. From the beginning to the end, he could basically guess. If it goes on like this, there is really a lack of suspense, and it will be harder to be scared.
