How much damage would a prehistoric piranha do?


More photos from the "Piranha 3D" movie filming at Lake Havasu made it to the horror film blogosphere. The plot, as I've mentioned before, is about prehistoric piranha released from under the lake by an earthquake, on an unsuspecting spring break crowd. You can see just how hungry these guys are from the photo at right. Check out the fangoria.com site for even more gore.

The director has explained more about the plot line, revealing that the prehistoric fish survived in a cavern under the lake for millions of years, evolving into more ferocious forms, and feeding off their brethren and other fish trapped there. Sounds like they could have used a geological consultant on the film, but a little scientific reality is probably not what they are looking for here.
