Chomping Through Chaos: Why I Binged All Five Piranha Movies (and Why You Should Join the Feeding Frenzy)

In Chomping Through Chaos, Brian Nelson dives head-first into the wild, gory, and often absurd world of the Piranha movie franchise — and discovers there’s more to these cult classics than cheap scares and toothy fish. With humor and surprising insight, he explores what makes these films entertaining (and strangely compelling), how they fit into the broader shark-and-monster movie genre, and why a good midnight-movie binge still has a place in the maker’s downtime. Whether you’re a horror fan, a pop-culture enthusiast, or someone who just enjoys a fun deep dive, this post serves up laughs, commentary, and a recommended feeding order for the full piranha experience.
