Since December’s news that PIRANHA 3DD would go straight to DDVD here in the UK, there’s still been no official word on the subject. It certainly doesn’t look like it will arrive on the date first reported (March 19th) so fingers crossed the powers-that-be are having a re-think. It would be a crying shame if this didn’t get a look in at cinemas, as it’s one of only a few films to have ever bothered to have fun with the format. Did any of the 3D movies you saw in cinemas last year chuck a severed penis at the audience? We rest our case.

Anyway, whether we get to see it in 3D or not, it still looks like good silly fun. Check out the trailer and see if you agree…

To aid us in understanding the plot complexities that are no doubt in store, here’s the official synopsis:

Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Thought they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Lead by the strong-willed, studious Maddy and her friends, Barry and Kyle, the trio must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being … but can they be stopped?
