Killer Fish is an Italian horror movie directed by Antonio Margheriti in 1979. The film, like many monster movies of the 1970s and 1980s, is very similar to Jaws.[citation needed]
Plot
The mastermind behind a precision theft of priceless emeralds decides to hide the jewels at the bottom of a reservoir he's secretly stocked with savage deadly piranha. Retrieving the gems turns to be a caper in itself since the group is now torn by suspicion and jealousy. Several gangs members try to recover the loot on their own, only to become screaming victims of the insatiable horde of killer fish. The treasure is down there just waiting to be brought up. To get them, everyone must face the inescapable terror of thousands of man-eating creatures.
