Spring Break in Lake Havasu Provided Setting for Piranha 3D
Lake Havasu home of the floating Spring Break party scene was used as the location for the story line for Piranha 3D. “Lake Victoria” – is the fictional tourist destination where spring breakers are attacked by Prehistoric Piranha released by an underwater fissure.
Piranha 3D pays homage to the action thriller B- Horror flcks spawned from the classic 1975 film "Jaws". The original Piranha movie produced by Roger Corman was released in 1978 followed by the sequel Piranha II in 1981.
Although the film was shot in 2-D and then converted to 3D. It is about piranhas... in 3-D. Do you really need to know anything more? The French director Alexandre Aja uses 3-D just as you would expect with this film genre.
You are sprayed with beer from a keg as the student shoots right at the audience. A Co-ed drunk from too many tequila shots and loses her lunch off the side of the boat and into the audiences lap. And of course there are the Piranha, zooming right at you from the screen, ready to bite you.
If you are into gorey B- Horror flicks you should get to the theater now now for any evening screening.
