headline16044Apr 10, (THAINDIAN NEWS) ‘Mega Piranha’ is a TV film that is going to premiere on SyFy network today and it will also get released in DVD format on April 27th, as it has been confirmed. It has been in the making for some time and its trailer that was released in the web a few weeks back created a sensation among the people. Its director is Eric Forsberg and the film has actors like Barry Williams, Paul Logan and some others. It deals with a rare and hitherto unseen species of piranha called mega piranha. The species is prehistoric and the general conception is that it became extinct millions of years ago. However, the film shows that a number of giant piranhas have survived in a little known tributary of the Amazon River. They possess incredible power and are huge in size.

When a group of people let the mega Piranhas escape into the main river they spread quickly downstream. These voracious creatures kill every animal and human who come across their way. The killer fishes reach Florida eventually. The trailer of the film is awe inspiring, in which a giant piranha attacks a helicopter. This is a low budget film but the effects used in it are quite engaging. Mega Piranha is not a very lengthy movie and the actions are fast paced.

A lot of scenes in the movie have been shot in the forest and river of Belize. There is a section of viewers who prefer to watch regionally shot sci-fi flicks featuring TV stars and this Piranha film is meant to cater to them.
