Piranha (1978)
7/10
Roger Corman Gold

One of the better Jaws knockoffs of the late '70's. A scientifically mutated school of piranha were accidentally released into a nearby river resort with devastating consequences. The army and aquatic scientists are called to help, but they are no help. Steven Spielberg himself enjoyed the film which prevented a lawsuit against the film.

Filmed in the Texas hill country, specifically, the Aquarena springs in San Marcos. This is a fun film. Dick Miller is great. One of Barry Brown's final films. Ralph the swimming pig makes a cameo. The pig was an actual mascot of Aquarena. I got to see up close the '67 Plymouth Fury police car from this movie. Go check it out.
