Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
TheLittleSongbird I never have really thought much of SyFy's resume as an overall whole. Some are tolerable, but most are garbage. Fortunately Mega Snake is one of the tolerable ones. It does have a lot of noticeable and obvious flaws, first and foremost the effects of the snake, which are not the worst from SyFy but still atrocious. The characters, especially the Sheriff, are cardboard clichés on the whole, and some like the shopkeeper are annoying. There is too much overlong exposition with the family as well and hampered further by hackneyed dialogue. However, the story is mostly not too bad. It didn't feel dull, and there are actually some good scenes like the attack on the lake and the forest chase which do have some tension as well as some fun and inventive killings. There are some scenes that do get rather ridiculous though, which was kind of expected. Other than the snake effects, Mega Snake does look good, the scenery is striking and the photography is at least above slipshod level. The acting is above average as well, John T Woods is especially fun. In conclusion, I'd be lying if I said this was a good movie but there have been far worse from SyFy. 5/10 Bethany Cox
Claudio Carvalho In 1986, in Tennessee, the father of the boys Lester and Duff Daniels is murdered by a snake in a weird ceremony. Twenty years later, Duff (John T. Woods) collects snakes while Les (Michael Shanks) fears them.One day, Duff visits the Kitawa Indian Screaming Hawk (Ben Cardinal) to buy snakes and sees a small snake in a jar. He decides to buy the snake, but Screaming Hawk tells that the species is not for sale. He explains that it is the dangerous Unteka that has three rules to raise it: (1) never let the snake out of the jar; (2) never let it eat living animals; and (3) never fear the heart of the snake. Duff steals the Unteka and brings the snake home. However, he accidentally drops the jar and the snake eats his cat. The snake gets bigger and bigger eating animals and the locals. Now Les, his former girlfriend Erin (Siri Baruc) and Screaming Hawk have to stop the Unteka to save the local population."Mega Snake" is a funny and entertaining Sy Fy production absolutely underrated in IMDb. The story uses elements of "Gremlins", "Anaconda" and "Jaws" and the director Tibor Takács makes a good B-movie with his limited budget combined with humor and funny characters. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Megasnake"
grinningkat-1 Its not like were watching a huge budget production here, but they did well with what they had. Granted, the Sheriff with a Phd was a little too convenient, a hobby in snakes would have been better. BUt this is a classic monster flick like 8 Legged Freaks or Lake Placid. It doesn't need to have an Oscar quality script, its meant to be fun. I was glad to see Michael Shanks in it though, I had missed him after Stargate was over. The acting in the movie was varied. Several of the performances were WAY over the top. I did originally watch this hoping for a superhero flick starring feedback, and was disappointed that he was just a cameo. I enjoyed the movie as a whole, found it pleasantly hokey and entertaining.
metalrox_2000 Some one needs to stop Sci-Fi network from churning out this 50's style b movie sci fi flicks. The Special effects were downright horrible. Everything seems so fake (including the hunters fear, before they are consumed) You can make out the blue screen used to make the Snake appear real.The onslaught of the fair were, rather sad. The snake manages to consume most of the fair goers (including one scene on a tilt a-whirl, in which even the people not eaten by the snake manage to just up and die) And also, this will be the first time that 20 people can be killed in one scene, and all they manage to muster is one blood splatter.DInocroc was entertaining. Megasnake was almost was bad as sitting through Krush Groove. However, I will give Megasnake credit for one thing. It set an example for the most anti-climatic ending in film history.Many made for TV movies are bad. Megasnake is just below bad. Maybe mega-turkey would be a better title. Because this was a bigger turkey then I've ever had on my dinner table at Thanksgiving.
