PIRANHA WOMEN 2022 (RETRO MEDIA)

Outrageous horror film directed by Fred Olen Ray for Fullmoon Productions.

A woman who is slowly dying from a disease which is not specifically mentioned, but the viewer suspects it's cancer goes to see a new doctor who has touted a treatment that might work.

The woman, Lexi (Sof Puchley) takes the treatment and suddenly recovers, but her boyfriend suspects something is wrong when she disappears and leaves him a "dear John" letter.

He enlists the aid of two detectives, Shayne (Richard Gabai) and Rogers (Michael Gaglio) who are not too bright. We learn that the doctor uses Piranha DNA and injects it into the sick women. Only problem is they become flesh eating killers with very sharp teeth and their breasts develope teeth as well.

The mutant women are a very obvious ripoff of the demon possessed character played by Bobbie Bresee in :Mausoleum" and it works well for this film. I do wish the running time was a little longer than one hour, and the film feels rushed at times.

The rest of the cast includes Jon Briddel, Houston Rhines, Shary Nassimi, Keep Chambers, Carrie Overgaard and Laurel Butler.

I recommend this one...it's a hoot and the women are boffo.
