Format: DVD
In Brazil, a team of five criminals steal a fortune in diamonds and bump the loot in a local lake and they decide to stay around for 60 days to avoid any suspicion. Paul Diller the brains behind the operation however puts a group of killer Piranha in the lake to stop anyone who has the idea of stealing the loot but he fails to tell anyone what he has done.

Journeyman director Antonio Margheriti directs this by the numbers horror flick that is quite enjoyable if you like low budget Italian films. As with most of his late 70's and 80's movies he uses miniature model sets to good use, for example in the opening heist sequence and the dam explosion at the end but the scenes with the model boat look poor.

Lee Majors makes a decent lead and James Franciscus is cast against type as a villain and the role actually suits him perfectly. There is also support from Karen Black and Italian Spaghetti Western star Anthony Steffen who stars as a Brazilian Captain.

The piranha attacks in the first half of the movie are quite mild and just feature someone screaming and then disappearing under the water but at the end the deaths get pretty gory and violent. The part where the fat photographer is killed is the most violent.

The De Angelis brothers compose a poor score that features as usual a vocal song, which is played over the opening titles and it doesn't suit the film at all, they do however make some decent instrumentals played over some of the piranha attacks.

Overall a average film and Antonio Margheriti has done far better in my opinion.

Good Quality dvd

Sometimes all it takes to know you’re in for a mess of a film is to look at the producers credits, and when a film boasts Lew Grade, Carlo Ponti, Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett Majors among its producers, you just know that Killer Fish is going to be a colossal mash up. As indeed it is, with Lee Majors, Karen Black and associates kicking off the movie by completely destroying a power plant and railway to cover up a robbery and then making the mistake of hiding the loot at the bottom of a piranha infested lake. Not that they knew there were piranhas there – that’s the work of the mastermind behind the robbery, James Franciscus, the poor man’s Charlton Heston and king of the ‘and/as’ billing (as in ‘and James Franciscus as Bob Spangler,’ ‘and James Franciscus as Jimbo’ or, in this case, ‘and James Franciscus as Paul Diller’), who put a few breeding pairs there in case any of his partners decided to divide the loot up without him. Naturally circumstances conspire to strand all the main characters, including Margeaux Hemingway’s hopeless romantic interest and a rotund bisexual fashion photographer, on a sinking boat too far to swim to the shore without feeding the fishes. It’s the kind of film that includes bursting dams, floods and huge explosions and still looks cheap, though there’s some satisfaction to be had from watching so many bad performers thrashing about in the water as some poor offscreen diver releases a can of stage blood if you can put up with the lengthy holiday resort middle act.

Scorpion's Region A-locked Blu-ray release offers good picture quality, the film's trailer and a 53-minute interview with actor Frank Pesce.

By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 8 Nov. 2013
Format: DVD
Killer Fish is directed by Antonio Margheriti and written by Michael Rogers. It stars Lee Majors, Karen Black, James Franciscus, Margaux Hemingway and Marisa Berenson. Music is by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis and cinematography by Alberto Spagnoli.

Majors leads a band of thieves in trying to regain some stolen gems that are at the bottom of Piranha infested waters.

It's pretty bad, in fact it's a rare case where I would suggest that the low internet rating for the film is about right. OK! You wouldn't think anyone seriously goes into this type of Spaghetti Horror expecting a terrifying masterpiece, but it's not unreasonable to think that you might get some modicum of suspense and half decent acting. Unfortunately Killer Fish has neither.

Filmed on location in Brazil, there's a half decent budget afforded the production, yet the actors stare off into the distance on some sort of sleep deprived auto-pilot, forced to say dialogue so poorly written you wonder if it was being made up as they went along? The fish of the title don't show up until half hour into the pic, briefly raising hope that excitement, peril and drama will now pulse through proceedings, but it's a false dawn.

The Six Million Dollar Man and the perpetually blank Hemingway fulfil their catwalk casting assignments, and some half decent model work is introduced and blown up, but at just over an hour and forty minutes in length, it's a real chore to get through. Oh well, at least it's not insultingly bad on purpose, it is honest in its very modest intentions. 3/10

This is a low budget Italian/U.S produced film from 1978 starring Lee Majors,Karen Black and James Franciscus.Better known under the title "Killer Fish" in the U.K,i remember it being shown on the ITV network a few times in the late 80's but never since.I've searched for it on DVD for years to no avail,then discovered this Italy only release(which has English language)so snapped it up.I know it's a bit corny etc but i like it and the soundtrack featuring a rare Amii Stewart song is classic 70's.After seeing VHS copies going for £40 a time this is a bargain for this hard to find cult classic.
