What If Your Son Was A Were-Piranha?

New Zealand's latest monster movie, Amatu, has a few cool ideas for what its creature may end up looking like. The story follows a ex-cop trying to save his infected son, while struggling to keep the kid's sickness hush-hush. Find out why after the jump.

Turns out that when the police officer's son, Leto, has an attack he turns into a beast that feeds on human flesh. And he's like a werewolf: if Leto bites you, you too become cursed with the same fate. Unfortunately for the dad, he can't kill his son, so he spends his days in the Amatu montain range killing off those his son turns. If the film-makers go down the path they've set out with this awesome concept art, then that is one scary looking beast.
