Piranha 3D (2010)

Piranha 3D (2010)

[6] Gore, boobs, and monsters have always been a recipe for success -- at least a moderate degree of it. Piranha 3D, Alexandre Aja's remake of Roger Corman's cult classic, proves the recipe may well be immortal. This flick is a big…
Street Trash (1987)

Street Trash (1987)

Bad Biology (2008)

Bad Biology (2008)
