**Screenwriter**: John Sayles **Producer**: Jon Davison Co-presented by our friends at **Scream Factory** and featuring a conversation with the legendary **Joe Dante!** Take a bite out of this carnivorous cult classic penned by John Sayles and directed by Joe Dante. After the success of Spielberg’s blockbuster *Jaws* everyone was chomping at the bit to cash in on the finned phenomenon, to varying degrees of success. Joe Dante’s sci-fi treat swims to the head of the pack with its tongue-in-cheek humor, very cool creature effects, and an all-star cast that includes cult hero Dick Miller and scream-queen Barbara Steele. When flesh-eating piranhas are accidentally released into a summer resort’s rivers, the guests become their next meal. So swim on over to Vidiots for a treat that bites back! **Scream Factory 13th Anniversary** A celebration of Scream Factory’s first 13 years and a tribute to the partners who’ve been part of the journey and kept physical media alive. And the party continues at 9:45pm with the new 4K Restoration of George A. Romero’s [Day of the Dead](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/day-of-the-dead/). **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
