Due to a failed military experiment, voracious piranhas infest the waters of a basin feasting on swimmers and local fishermen. In the end, a private investigator and a local resident manage, with the help of the army, to put an end to the situation. But have they really managed to kill all the piranhas? Not without some good ideas and well directed, it has the flaw of not showing much to the viewer (the results of the carnivorous fish attacks on the swimmers are almost never seen, everything fades into a red stain in the water), leaving a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth of those who, like the undersigned, expect to see abundant doses of blood in films of this genre. Suitable for fans of "Jaws" (but beware, we are far below Spielberg's masterpiece).
