Independent British distributors Second Sight Films have revealed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray director Joe Dante's cult classic
Piranha (1978), starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies-Urich and Kevin McCarthy. The distributors are yet to reveal the exact street date, but have confirmed that the release will include plenty of special features.
This lake-bound horror film, spawned in the wake of
Jaws, is an early production by future
The Howling collaborators John Sayles and Joe Dante. Two teenagers going for a dip inadvertently stumble upon a government secret weapon: deadly piranha fish, planned for use in Vietnam. Accidentally released, the piranha make their way to the site of a children's summer camp resort, and the watery carnage begins. James Cameron cut his directorial teeth on the sequel in 1982.
