    • Trivia
      Director Alexandre Aja planned to have Joe Dante (director of the original Piranha (1978)) and James Cameron (director of Piranha II: The Spawning (1981)) play boat Captains who give safety lessons to the teens. Dante wanted to do it, but Cameron was too busy.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the film the expert says the fish have underdeveloped sex organs and these fish are babies. However a fish's sex organs are internal and he wouldn't know this without dissection or a CAT scan.

      Laura Forester: I have a training bra but I don't like to wear it 'cause it itches.

      Danni: Tell me about it! Who are you waiting for?

      Laura Forester: My brother Jake, he's seventeen. He'll like your boobs too.

      Danni: They all do.

    Stylish, and creepy
    For one, the only other films with fish that scared me was jaws, this one is like jaws had babies and went mad. this film is definatly a modern day horror classic, and stands out around many other films, around this era 3/4
