Italiano I pesci piranha infestano un bacino. Una investigatrice privata e un abitante del luogo dove si stanno svolgendo i fatti fanno le loro indagini. I voracissimi pesci piranha prolificano con una rapidità impressionante, tanto che addirittura un intero villaggio dove abitano persone viene minacciato da questi pesci. Chiunque si avvicina all'acqua viene orrendamente dilaniato e orrendamente mutilato. Alla fine le autorità (fino ad allora incredule sui fatti accaduti) intervengono e i piranha sono definitivamente eliminati.

Deutsch Maggie McGowan forscht im Auftrag eines privaten Suchdienstes nach dem Verbleib zweier Teenies, die aus der Sommerfrische nicht zurückgekehrt sind. Ihr zur Seite steht Paul Grogan frustrierter Zivilisationsflüchtling und Flaschenfreund. Auf einem ehemaligen Militärgelände stoßen sie auf nicht allzu ermutigende Spuren der beiden Vermissten. Um sich Gewissheit zu verschaffen, ziehen die Unglücksraben den Stöpsel des größten Versuchsbecken. Ein verbliebener Wissenschaftler, der sie daran hindern will, kriegt kurzerhand einen auf den Schädel. Wieder zu sich gekommen, erzählt er eine haarsträubende Geschichte von einen neuen Rasse Piranhas, gezüchtet einst für den Vietnamkrieg: kälteunempfindlich, fit für Salz- und Süßwasser, giftresistent und vermehrungsfreudig wie ein Rudel Karnickel.
Español El hombre ha manipulado de nuevo la naturaleza, y esta vez el resultado no es sólo mortal... ¡es voraz! Una tranquila y deliciosa noche, dos jóvenes excursionistas deciden darse un baño a la luz de la luna en las tranquilas aguas del lago Lost River... ¡sin saber que van a convertirse en el banquete de una especie de pirañas comedoras de hombres! Sus muertes provocan una investigación que revela la existencia de un experimento secreto del gobierno conocido como Operación Razorteeth. Pero lo peor está por llegar. Este insaciable y macabro ejército de monstruos está trasladándose río abajo, donde un nuevo complejo de vacaciones de verano acaba de abrir sus puertas... el cual les proporcionará un festín de veraneantes a no ser que un valiente ecologista (Bradford Dillman) y una bella e inteligente investigadora (Heather Menzies) no detengan su mortal avance... para siempre.
עִבְרִית פרודיה על סרטי אימה בהפקת רוג'ר קורמן. שילוב מנצח בין הבימוי השוטף של ג'ו דנטה והתסריט השנון של ג'ון סיילס (כוכב בודד) שמהווה וריאציה על "מלתעות". מדען מטורף מפתח זן של דגי פיראנה טורפי אדם לשימוש במלחמת וייטנאם. העניינים יוצאים מכלל שליטה כאשר הדגים נמלטים אל הנהר המקומי. כמו בשני סרטי ה"גרמלינס", משלב דאנטה הצדעות לסרטים מפורסמים ובדיחות טריוויה קולנועיות.
Dansk To teenagere er forsvundet i et reservat i Texas, og da den unge Maggie McKeown beslutter sig for at snuse lidt omkring, løber hun ind i den lokale eventyrer Paul Grogan. Grogan fører hende modvilligt hen til et nedlagt militæranlæg, hvor de møder videnskabsmanden Dr. Hoak, der udfører bizarre eksperimenter med muterede piratfisk, som tilsyneladende kan overleve i køligt vand. Ved et skæbnesvangert uheld får de tømt reservoiret med piratfisk ud i den tilstødende flod, og gode råd er dyre, da de blodstørstige og genmanipulerede fisk bevæger sig mod den lokale lejrskole, hvor bl.a. Grogans datter befinder sig...
Magyar Két hátizsákos tinédzser eltűnik egy elhagyott katonai tábor közelében. A felkutatásukkal megbízott Maggie és Paul számára az ügy egyszerűnek tűnik: a fiúk vízbe fulladtak, és ha a közelben lévő medencéből leengedik a vizet, a holttesteket is megtalálják. Azonban Dr. Robert Hoak bevallja, hogy mutáns piranhákat - mégpedig olyan példányokat, amelyeket még a vietnami háborúban neveltek ki - telepített a medencébe és egy közeli tóba. Maggie és Paul mindent elkövet azért, hogy elejét vegye a piranha csapat pusztításainak, ám hiába minden erőfeszítés, több környékbeli kempingező, sőt maga az orvos is a gyilkos halak áldozata lesz.

svenska Två tonåringar är ute och vandrar i skogen och snubblar över en pool vid ett reningsverk. Den vackra kvällen med dess strålande månsken inbjuder till ett dopp i vattnet. Det bubblar till på ytan och deras liv släcks i hjärtskärande skrik. Fallet med de båda försvunna ungdomarna börjar undersökas av en utredare som tar hjälp av byns fyllo och de finner ett dolt statligt projekt: Operation Razorteeth. Med tanke på titeln är det kanske inte så svårt att räkna ut vad som försiggår - var säkra på att vattnet kommer att färgas rött...
Pусский «Холодная война» закончилась, но все ли ее последствия и изобретения ушли в прошлое? В секретной лаборатории вывели гигантских пираний, способных выживать в любом климате. Базу закрыли, а оставшиеся рыбки, вместе со слитой случайно водой, попали в ближайшую речушку, оттуда — в озеро… Если прожорливые твари доберутся до океана, исчезнет все живое на земле!

Český Americký filmový horor, ve kterém se hrozbou nevinných lidí stává velké hejno nechvalně proslulých dravých rybek, kterým se podaří utéci z experimentálního vědeckého ústavu, financovaného americkou armádou. Jejich cesta vede přímo do blízkého jezera, které je vyhledávanou turistickou atrakcí a jehož břehy jsou v letních měsících obleženy lidmi, kteří se sem sjíždějí z celého širokého okolí, aby se tu opalovali nebo si zaplavali. V okamžiku, kdy se k jezeru blíží smrtelné nebezpečí v podobě hladových rybiček, přijíždí k jezeru také autobus plný malých školáků.

suomi Kaksi nuorta saapuu yöllä armeijan hylättyyn tukikohtaan. He päättävät ottaa paikassa olevasta uima-altaasta ilon irti ja menevät sinne naku-uinnille. He eivät tiedä, että karmiva salaisuus vaanii heidän allaan ennen, kuin se nousee ja ahmaisee heidät kitaansa. Kun nuorten kauhunhuudot kiirivät punaisen veden pinnalla, valot laitetaan päälle ja selviää, että rakennus on kaukana hylätystä ja tyhjästä.

Academy Award-nominee, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner John Lithgow ("Shrek," "3rd Rock from the Sun"), Academy Award-nominee and Emmy- winner Dan Aykroyd ("50 First Dates," the "Ghostbusters" features) and Academy Award-nominee Albert Brooks ("Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World," "Defending Your Life") star in this film based on one of TV's most popular series. Rod Serling's classic science-fiction drama is translated to the silver screen through a unique collaboration from four of the industry's top creators: Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe- winner Steven Spielberg ("Munich," "War of the Worlds"), Academy Award- nominee George Miller ("Babe," "The Witches of Eastwick"), John Landis ("The Blues Brothers," "Animal House"), and Joe Dante ("Looney Tunes: Back in Action," "Gremlins" 1 & 2).

After the defense industry firm Globotech takes over a small toy company, Heartland Play Systems' CEO Gil Mars (Denis Leary) gives the green light to develop a new line of action figures, requesting an upgrade to more realistic figures from Heartland toy designers Larry Benson (Jay Mohr) and fumbling Irwin Wayfair (David Cross). Mars wants toys that act like the ones in TV commercials. The results are fierce fighting figures, the Commando Elite, programmed to seek out and destroy the kindly alien-like Gorgonites. In an effort to make the toys as natural as possible, Benson inserts Globotech's most powerful military computer chips. When the Gorgonite leader Archer (voice of Frank Langella) begins communicating with Alan, it causes the Commandos to perceive humans as another enemy, simply by their association with the "Gorgonite scum," so an attack on the Abernathy house begins. Unfortunately, the Gorgonites can offer only limited assistance, since they have been programmed to lose.
It seemed like a great idea when Max, an all-around nice guy (Anton Yelchin), and Evelyn, his beautiful girlfriend (Ashley Greene), moved in together. When Evelyn turns out to be a controlling, manipulative nightmare, Max knows it’s time to call it quits, but there’s just one problem: he’s terrified of breaking up with her. Fate steps in when Evelyn is involved in a freak accident and dies, leaving Max single and ready to mingle. Just as Max is thinking about moving on with what could be his dream girl, Olivia (Alexandra Daddario) – Evelyn has returned from the grave and is determined to get her boyfriend back... even if that means transforming him into one of the undead.
Golden Globe-nominees Meg Ryan ("Sleepless In Seattle," "When Harry Met Sally. . .") and Dennis Quaid ("In Good Company," "The Day After Tomorrow"), and Emmy-winner Martin Short (TV's "Merlin," "Mars Attacks!") star in this sci-fi comedy fantasy directed by Joe Dante ("Looney Tunes: Back In Action," "Gremlins" 1 & 2). A rambunctious Navy test pilot (Quaid) undergoes a top-secret miniaturization experiment and is accidentally injected into the body of a hypochondriac clerk (Short). Siskel & Ebert praised "two thumbs up for this ambitious science-fiction comedy. . . Dennis Quaid is charming and Martin Short is terrific." "One of the year's top 10 movies" (Time Magazine) "Hilarious! . . .for non-stop inventiveness, 'Innerspace' is hard to beat!" (Newsweek). Produced by Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Steven Spielberg ("Munich," "War of the Worlds"). Received an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
