James Cameron Not a Fan of PIRANHA 3D or 3D Horror film in General

Looks like Avatar director James Cameron wasn't a very big fan of the latest Piranha 3D film. I wasn't a fan of it myself, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would have. I was expecting some fun crazy bloody campiness, but even though it had all that it still seemed to fall flat, even with the 3D aspect of it, which I thought was lame.

Cameron recently did an interview with Vanity Fair and here's what he had to say about the movie, and 3D horror films in general.

You’ve got to remember: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days and got fired off of it; I don’t put it on my official filmography. So there’s no sort of fond connection for me whatsoever," he told them. "In fact, I would go even farther and say that... I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s not what’s happening now with 3-D. 

And there ya have it folks. He thinks that all this 3D horror crap cheapens the medium of 3D, and I couldn't agree with him more.
