Piranhas, Holes, and Joe Dante
By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (15)
Before directing Gremlins and Gremlins 2, Joe Dante — a protégé of Roger Corman, like Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron — has his feature directing debut in 1978 with Piranha, a Corman-produced so-bad-it’s good killer piranha movie.
Thirty-two years later, Alexandre Aja — in an effort to recapture the so bad it’s good vibe of the original — is remaking Piranha in 3D. With lots of blood. And Eli Roth. We showed you the teaser trailer last week, and here’s the first full-length trailer. On the basis of the trailer alone, it looks like it achieves exactly what it set out to do.
Meanwhile, Joe Dante — 32 years after his debut — is back with his first feature in years (since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action). This one, too, is in 3D. But the tone couldn’t be any more different: It’s a family-friendly horror movie. Think Poltergeist in tone, although, I think this is a little too kid friendly for my tastes.
Here’s the trailer for The Hole.

Is that fish on steroids? Pyranha are little itty bitty fish. There's just lots of them, with teeth.
