Killer Fish vs Piranha


For those who prefer their man-eating fish stories on the GORY side, you'd probably prefer to watch "Piranha" ... a movie that is VERY graphic.


Myself, however, I much prefer "Killer Fish." Why? Well, for one thing there was actually a decent storyline (i.e. jewel thieves turning on one another). Second, the acting (and casting) was much better. Third, it has it's scary moments without the ridiculous and sometimes difficult to look at 'gore' that "Piranha" blatantly displays. Perhaps it's an age thing? Nah ... I think that even if I was a teenager I'd still prefer "Killer Fish" to "Piranha."

For those of you who have seen both, what do you think????

"Piranha" was more entertaining, as a B movie, but "Killer Fish" had better special effects.

Tough choice for me, since I like both movies.

I think Piranha is more fun and campy but Killer Fish has such a cool cast and story.

Strangely enough if I could only own one it would be Killer Fish.
