John Sayles (screenwriter)
Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies-Urich, Kevin McCarthy, Keenan Wynn (starring)

Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1978. Collection of 3 vintage full-color lobby cards from the 1978 American-Dutch exploitation film.

Corman-produced B movie, about a peaceful resort that is terrorized by monster piranhas let loose in the local rivers. Clearly a capitalization on the success of an earlier sea monster movie, "Jaws" (1975), and inspiration for similar films to follow, including "Piranha II: The Spawning" (1981), and even remakes.

11 x 14 inches. Corner bumps, else Near Fine.

Piranha (1983) US.
