10 Ridiculously Underrated Movie Remakes Everyone Must Watch

10. Piranha 3D

Opening on a hilarious cameo from Jaws hero Richard Dreyfuss, The Hills Have Eyes re-maker/ New French Extremity enfant terrible Alexandre Aja's dumb-fun remake of Pirahna wastes no time ensuring cinema goers that this offering from the director wasn't going to be another gruelling self-serious ordeal.

It's hard to know how Aja cheered up so much between films, but where that Wes Craven re-imagining showcased fifteen minute torture porn sequences, this update of Gremlins helmer Joe Dante’s 1978 original is more about constant nudity, silly in-jokes, and inventive comedic gore.

With a cast including fellow controversial helmer Eli Roth, The Karate Kid's Elizabeth Shue, a hilarious Jerry O'Connell, and comedic stalwarts Adam Scott and Paul Scheer, this monster movie may not have the original's satirical verve, but it nonetheless deserved more love than the lukewarm critical reception it was met with.
