Summary: Back in the 70s, one of the most infamous rip-offs of "Jaws" bared its teeth, and actually managed to leave something of an impact. Of course, no one could have predicted the domino effect that led to the "Terminator" franchise, but that's another story entirely. But for a while, no one touched the idea of killer piranha. Until now, that is. And this time, they're coming back in STYLE.

History: Somewhere in Lake Victoria, Arizona, the ground breaks open below the water, and something horrible is unleashed. As it turns out, there were caverns below the lake serving as a spawning pool for swarms of piranha thought to have died out way before modern man came around. These are the OG prinaha, and now they are loose, and more than eager to turn the oasis resort into a bloodbath. Though any body of water will do just fine...

Notable Kills: Although some of the more stand-out kills are a result of chaos somewhat out of the piranhas' direct control, there are some, like eating someone from the inside-out and a baby hiding in a girl's privates to kill both while they're having sex.

Final Fate: After a brutal massacre, the piranha are seemingly blown up...only to then be revealed to be the young of much bigger piranhas. But that was eschewed in the sequel, in which they managed to invade a waterpark for some new havoc. Again, blown up, but this time the twist was that they were slowly evolving to walk on land. At least they never grew wings, this time.

Powers/Abilities: None.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 4-Unlike the previous piranha, these ones look like absolute demons from a lost age. With red eyes, sharp teeth, and a hide straight out of a heavy metal album cover, one is enough to make you squirm out of the water. Now imagine that multiplied by the number of Way Too F*cking Many, and you have yourself the most violent and off the wall school of predatory fish ever seen.

Trivia: -If you truly want an example of a voracious prehistoric fish that could count as the predecessor of the piranha, look no further than Piranhamesodon pinnatomus, a Jurassic fish that actually belonged in a family known for crushing teeth to eat shellfish. It got its name from being the odd one out due to its serrated teeth. And it looked like a piranha too, albeit with some odder proportions.

-The sequel film was nominated for two Razzies (Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Prequel/Sequel/Rip-Off/Remake), but it lost both to "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2". To be honest, you have to try really hard to fail bigger than the "Twilight" franchise.
