| Plot Summary of Shred |
|---|
"Five college freshman stumble upon a hidden door in the abandoned house across the street, and they discover an underground fight club between men and oversized piranhas. The men are lured down to this giant fish tank under the guise of fighting other men for money. To their surprise, they are lured into death-defying matches against piranhas, armed with only a single knife."
Kevin B. Levi, Resident Scholar
