Back in August last year Undead Backbrain<\/a> introduced you to the unique blend of Chihuahua and Piranha that is Chihuanhas<\/strong><\/em> (US-2010; dir. Jim L. Clark).<\/p>\n

\"CB107431\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/em> — or even Megapiranha<\/em><\/a>! As unique as the latter may prove to be, this one<\/em> is something even more outr\u00e9 — if much much smaller!<\/p>\n

Synopsis One<\/em>:<\/p>\n

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<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Chihuanhas_Book_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Synopsis <\/em>Two<\/em> (main official one):<\/p>\n

When a curio-collecting Professor returns from South America with a mysterious Piranha idol, it casts an ominous curse on his innocent Chihuahua \u201cLulu Bell\u201d, 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\u2019s monstrous spawn soon return to repay the gesture…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Chihuanhas_Story_00\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the Professor\u2019s 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<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Chihuanhas_Book_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Synopsis <\/em>Three<\/em>:<\/p>\n

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!
