James Cameron’s Piranha II: The Spawning hits Blu-ray this July

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in September of last year, we let you guys know that Scream Factory was all set to release a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of James Cameron’s first feature film PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING this January. That release was postponed for whatever reasons but today we know the film will finally be hitting this July!

I have never seen James Cameron’s first feature film. I don’t know why. Never gave it too much thought before today. But now that the film has been brought back to my attention, I’m going to check it out asap. I mean it has to be worth at least a “well, this is encouraging, everyone starts somewhere” vibe, you know? What did you think of the film? Make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments below or on social media!

Synopsis:

It may seem like paradise, but just offshore, a new brand of terror has been unleashed…

While investigating the mysterious death of a diver, scuba instructor Anne Kimbrough (Tricia O’Neil, Titanic) makes a horrific discovery: Piranha-like fish, with wings that enable them to fly, are responsible for the death. As the body count rises, Anne desperately tries to convince the manager of the resort to call off the annual fish fry on the beach, but he’s determined to give his guests the ultimate feeding frenzy. This exciting sequel to Joe Dante’s original Piranha also stars Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator) and is the directorial debut of James Cameron (Avatar, The Terminator, Aliens).

The film is directed by James Cameron and stars Tricia O’Neil, Steve Marachuk, and Lance Henriksen. PIRANHA II hits Blu-ray July 31!
