SDCC '08: Alex Aja Compares 'Piranha' Remake to 'Dead Alive'!
Saturday, July 26, 2008

Comments

While promoting his upcoming horror film MIRRORS, BC caught up with director Alex Aja at the San Diego Comic Con who broke some really interesting news on his 3-D remake of Piranha, which he'll be directing next for Dimension Films. "PIRANHA is huge budget - I wanted to make something different," he tells Bloody-Disgusting. "[It will be] really fun and entertaining, in the vein of DEAD ALIVE." If this film is as gory as DEAD ALIVE, consider this reporter in horror heaven. MIRRORS arrives in theaters August 15th.

Braindead (sorry, Dead Alive) was awesome. That's a bold statement comparing the two!

www.myspace.com/fridaythe, i hear what you're saying, but i think if anyone can deliver on such a bold statement, it's Aja! Dead Alive is such an over the top fun gorefest and i'm convinced Piranha 3D will be the same. Aja hasn't let his fans and horror fans down.

I love Alex Aja films. The hills have eyes was good. P2 was good (well he produced it not directed it). I seriously need to catch up on 'High tension' before 'Mirrors'. I will see 'Mirrors' and excited for 'Piranha' 3-D. It will be the first horror film in 3-D. I'm excited.

GORE doesn't mean shit! If anyone with even half a nut sac is totally desensitized to that crap by now, then you're a Grade-A, 5 star wussie! Seriously! By this point in time, we should all be capable of watching someone eat an eyeball sandwich -- for real! -- without even flinching. If some blood and guts fits into the story, fine. Otherwise, if a movie exists primarily to show off a bunch of these modern, lame ass gore routines then it's a total time waster in my book. I'll say it again: Gore flicks are for P-U-S-S-I-E-S! Get over it! Blood and guts is NOT scary anymore -- unless you're a little girl!

personally, I don't watch gory movies cause they're scary, I watch em cause they make me laugh. Though I really hope that they don't use CGI to make this movie, there's just something about prosthetics and hoses spewing blood everywhere that's entertaining. If Piranha 3-D is anywhere near as gory as Dead Alive, then I'll love it. I wonder if they'll use a push mower...
