Alicia I love this movie so much

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Terry Hancock This is a decent candidate for worst movie of the decade, century, etc. My wife and I watched the whole thing with our jaws hanging down, shocked at how bad it was. It has become a reference point: We now compare other bad movies to "Venomous" and vote on whether it is under or over the very low bar that it sets. If you actually watch it, be forewarned. And check out the army guy in the helicopter hanging out & threatening to shoot the local citizens, although he never does and the copter looks more like a evening news helicopter than a military chopper. I like Treat Williams, he is a very capable actor. I cannot for the life of me understand why he would agree to do this movie unless it was simply for the money. But one thing the creators got right is the title, "Venomous," because it is really lethal. You watch something like this and think, jeez, I could do something this good without even trying hard. Yes, this movie puts the "b" in bad, the only redeeming factor is that we didn't have to pay to see it.

agremlin82 SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERSPut down the remote, back away slowly and nobody gets hurt!!! OH-MY-GOD!!! I Personally love Treat Williams movies, but after seeing Venomous, it's quite clear that his agent needs to be fired. The acting from just about all is bad..., really bad. The script is hideous, or dare I say "Venomous". Still, I was transfixed with this train wreck of a movie and had to see just really how bad it could get. It's quite fair to say that I wasn't disappointed. The Horror...Although I wasn't expecting Othello, I also didn't expect a script written by Butters from South Park. This was award winningly awful. Just some of the problems I have of the script and there are quite a few, but I limit my disdain for these 6: (1) Gas masks protect you from gas, not a living biological contagion. (2) If you have military soldiers standing guard outside a door to say, a hospital and someone fires a handgun within that hospital, they will react, very quickly and very violently and not standing like human doorstops with live weapons. (3) In the moron family's attempt to run the roadblock they almost collide with oncoming traffic on the way out, yet a few hundred yards down the road they find the road is a complete dead end. A few questions there is where did the oncoming traffic come from on a dead end road and if you're a resident in that area and you're making an escape from the military quarantine, what kind of idiots plan their escape down a dead end road? (4) Another reviewer mentioned the hundreds of snakes simply materializing behind Treat on a floor that was clear seconds before, but Kudos for Mr. Williams actually handling what appears to be a live snake, although it could have been chilled before hand to slow it's defensive reactions to being picked up in the tunnel, but in that scene he enters what looks to be an old abandoned mine in a dirt clearing, the entrance of it made with old wood pylons, yet seconds later he's in a well maintained concrete tunnel which includes electric lighting and modern pipes running along the wall as if he's in a modern building. (5) The initial research center where the snakes were housed is blown up, yet the snakes 10 years later appear beneath a decades old garage in a completely different town. Doesn't it seem strange they'd crawl who knows how many miles beneath the surface to this remote town and had never come up once where the original high-security holding facility was? and "The Biggie" (6), I was expecting the snakes to show up on the helicopter in the end to dispatch the Bad Guy, but when filmed during take off the floor was absolutely clean. No place for a reptile to hide and all of a sudden, they're wrapped around the guys feet. Additionally the helicopter seems to transform from a small 5 seat A Star with landing skids to what appears to be a much larger HH-3 Pelican with wheels instead of skids during the explosion and crash. Not even did they spring for file footage of a similar type aircraft crash. This is like a volkswagen beetle turning into a 8 passenger van. Jeeze, come on!! This was obviously a very poor rip off of Outbreak's script. At least Outbreak had a modicum of science behind they're script. This was just awful. My sincere condolences to Mr. Treat Williams. He, as well as the viewing public deserve better.

Kathleen Fitzgerald I love Treat Williams, but I think even he knew that this one the snakes couldn't even digest. Can we say 'ripoff'? Almost right out of "Outbreak", except the only good thing about it was that Treat was in it. I wasted $2.00 buying the VHS. I'm so happy it wasn't more. Overly cheesy, very predictable, badly directed, terrible continuity (really didn't have any), and worse with the script. Arrgh.I feel pain every time I see one of these movies and wonder who I can hit up for a budget. I'm sure I can do much better. Much. Somebody give me 1M and I'll give you a wonderful movie or two.Oops, IMDb wants ten lines of text for the comments, so I have to fill this in a bit.Don't watch it, don't buy it, don't rent it...run, as fast as you can from this movie. It might cause vomiting, gagging, laughter, or anger.

Burmese Python As you might be able to tell from my nickname, I am a snake NUT. So, viewing this movie was essential for me, no matter what the quality of the film was SUPPOSED to be. Going in with my eyes wide open, I was aware immediately of two things: 1. The movie is VERY low budget, and 2. The effects were, for the most part, very realistic.While I can't say that the movie fails to entertain, it does have problems. The acting is average at best, the plot is predictable, and the style of filming is very much like a made-for-TV movie. Think of a Stephen King ABC Mini-Series, and that sums up the film's style.That said, what the movie does right also impressive. There is no computer animation, and at no point do any of the slithering baddies of the film do anything "supernatural". The reptile action is very plausible, a refreshing change from other recent pictures like "Anaconda" and "Python". What the film also does right is not take itself too seriously. There is not a lot of over-acting, and no character in the film seems beyond belief. One thing I also appreciated was the fact that the snakes are treated as a menace, but not as villains.Where "Venomous" fails most notably is its lack of ability to build suspense. There is one particular scene that stands out among the rest, but aside from that golden moment, little else is particularly chilling.I have read reviews of this film that call it a copy of "Outbreak". While there are several similar elements, "Venomous" does stand well on its own. The running time is nearly an hour shorter between these two movies, and "Venomous" does a good job of character development. It also focuses more on the carriers of the virus than the virus itself."Venomous" also relies on stock footage more than once, perhaps to keep the overall budget down. I will be general here not to spoil any of the film's moments: There is one crash scene where the vehicle crashing is TOTALLY different from the one in the previous shot. Watch for it with your remote in hand, it is amusing that the film makers thought no one would notice.My overall opinion? Rent before you buy, and only buy if you really like snakes.
