Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Piranha’ – Roger Corman’s Homage To ‘Jaws’

August 30, 2018 by James Jay Edwards

A scene from Roger Corman's 'Piranha.'

In 1975, the movie world was changed by Steven Spielberg’s summer blockbuster Jaws. And almost immediately, schlock filmmakers started imitating it, hoping some of the success would rub off. And some did. The Jaws clone trend has given us awesome movies like Orca, Tentacles, and even Grizzly. Oh, and Piranha.
