Piranha Joe Dante's man-eating-fish-go-apeshit flick still feels fresh decades on.

Plot Mutant piranha escape from a secret research station and head downriver towards a summer camp and a small town’s lakeside tourist attraction. A gruff loner and a daffy private eye try to stop the monsters. Verdict Like all the best exploitation flicks, Piranha is driven by a ruthless desire to entertain and, in this non-pretentious ambition, it succeeds magnificently.
