Listen I know it is pretty terrible, and everyone hates it, including most of Reddit. But I re-watched it earlier today and I laughed quite a bit, way more than I laughed with the first one. There are so many well-executed visual comedy gags that I was kind of baffled that people just took it as a bad horror movie. There is a lot of intentionally bad stuff, but unlike Sharknado where even the CGI and special effects (makeup, gore) is horrible. This movie seems to genuinely care about the horror in this film, and making it as over the top as the remake. And unlike Sharknado, the gags in this are genuinely kind of great. You have Ving Rhames with titanium legs with a shotgun attached, and everytime he shoots, the gun seems to not even be aimed at the piranhas he is shooting at but he hits every single one. Is that intentional or not, I really don't know but it made me laugh hysterically. And then there is 3 dolly shots back-to-back-to-back towards David Hasselhoff as people are yelling for help around him, and after every single dolly shot he doesn't do anything. And again, I laughed hysterically at that as well, because it was a pretty darn well-crafted visual comedy gag.
Now I may be going crazy or maybe parody-style humor amuses me a lot (I love Not Another Teen Movie, They Came Together, and Superhero Movie). All I know is that I kind of love it, and I kind of think it is brilliant. Please someone back me up, because no one seems to think the same, and I am wondering if I should get a brain scan tomorrow

Lots of people love cult films as I do so you’re definitely not crazy for liking that film a lot.
