Well, maybe not everyone. The 9-minute uncensored footage from Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D was prohibited from being shown at last week’s San Diego Comic Con 2010. Instead, the scenes were shown downtown to a very impressed crowd of gorehounds. Naturally, the clip was released online through BloodyDisgusting to even more acclaim from fans.
The clip introduces us to the piranhas in all their vicious, bloodhungry glory as they chomp into spring breakers’ flesh left and right. The piranhas aren’t the only things taking people out in the clip that envokes the amused dread of a Final Destination disaster.

Before viewing this clip, I had very little interest in seeing this. Okay, none whatsoever. I love Alexandre Aja, but the trailers for this movie did nothing for me. The CGI looks awful (still does even in the clip, but I hear it’s supposed to be a bit more polished for the theatrical release), and I wasn’t sure how serious it was taking itself. After seeing all of the mayhem in the clip, I think I may catch a matinee showing. It looks intentionally campy and fun rather than corny like the trailer led me to believe.
Piranha 3D boasts a pretty well-known cast with Elisabeth Shue (Hollow Man), Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead), Jerry O’Connell (Obsessed), Dina Meyer (Saw I-IV), Eli Roth (Inglourious Basterds) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future I-III). It hits theaters on August 20th.
