Chihuanhas: Tiny Toothy Terrors

Back in August last year Undead Backbrain introduced you to the unique blend of Chihuahua and Piranha that is Chihuanhas (US-2010; dir. Jim L. Clark).

Somehow that ridiculous idea rang a very loud bell with monster film fans across the Web, and now we’re all hanging out for the final result.

Meanwhile, here are three synopses and a pack of conceptual drawings, just to drive home the fact that we are not dealing with Piranha 3D — or even Megapiranha! As unique as the latter may prove to be, this one is something even more outré — if much much smaller!

Synopsis One:

A school/pack of vicious, cross-bred Chihuahua and Piranha are unleashed upon a pristine Mountain Lake and quickly consume summer campers before a team of misfits, led by the lake’s ranger, evade and destroy the evil little critters. (IMDb)

Synopsis Two (main official one):

When a curio-collecting Professor returns from South America with a mysterious Piranha idol, it casts an ominous curse on his innocent Chihuahua “Lulu Bell”, and impregnates her with a litter of amphibious, mutant Chihuahua-Piranhas. Realizing his grave mistake, the Professor disposes of the idol and pups in a nearby mountain lake, but Lulu’s monstrous spawn soon return to repay the gesture…

Following the Professor’s demise, the ravenous critters seek out a pair of fatty-campers, their obsessive guide, a reclusive WWII veteran and a trio of vacationing porn stars. Led by the lake’s ranger and her inept assistant, the eccentric team unites to survive and destroy the vicious rat-pack with available firepower, their bare hands and the most lethal of all processed cheese products! (Official website)

Synopsis Three:

A South American Piranha curse impregnates a sweet chihuahua named Lulu and her evil pups are unleashed on a nearby mountain lake. A brassy female ranger and her clumsy assistant take action to rescue endangered campers, but not without sacrificing lives and limbs to the monstrous pack of CHIHUANHAS! (HiveFX)

Fantastic!
