Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

gavin6942 A pack of teenagers run for their lives through the swamps of Louisiana, as they are chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by thirteen evil souls who is relentless in his pursuit of new victims. Agnes Bruckner stars a year before her great break in "The Woods" (2006).The film marks the re-teaming of Kevin Williamson, writer of "Scream", and director Jim Gillespie from "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Kyle Smith wrote, "Even the undemanding high schoolers the film is aimed at will experience déjà voodoo, as Venom recites the A through Z of horror clichés. All hopes for suspense and plot twists are snuffed out about as quickly as the film's black characters." Smith, of course, is right. Despite the great writer-director pairing, this is a complete dud with none of the charm we saw in their other work.As a historical note, this was the last Dimension film to be distributed by Disney before the former left Miramax Films to become part of The Weinstein Company in 2005.

metalrage666 I won't harp on too much about this as Venom is genuinely an unremarkable stalk and slash fare with a bit of voodoo mysticism thrown in to try and add spice to an otherwise dehydrated dish. A man gets attacked by a suitcase full of demonic snakes, comes back to life and begins a random killing spree using any means necessary until settling for a crowbar. Most of the death scenes are obviously trying to emulate some of the inventive and gruesome deaths done in the Friday the 13th movies 30 years earlier, but just seem unnecessary in this. A bunch of panicky, and mostly twenty- something pretending to be teenage cast, take refuge in a voodoo protected house until snake man finds a way to break the seal. After a few more ho-hum deaths, only one remains and with the inevitable - "he's dead now - oh no he's not" moments, our crowbar wielding villain gets crushed between a large tree stump and a tow-truck therefore rendering his body too useless to be effective as a vessel. As the torso lay across the front of the truck, 2 snakes emerge in search of some other body to inhabit. This is fairly standard fare and if you've seen any horror movie in the last 25 years then you've already seen this, you just don't realise it yet. There's no need to rent or buy this and it's one of those "only if there's nothing better on TV" movies. None of the cast is memorable, every death is forgettable and if you haven't fallen asleep before the end, you deserve some kind of reward. Venom is one for the dumpster.

jmbwithcats This movie had elements of House of the Dead, especially with Ray and the crypt at the end and was actually even worse then House of the Dead which I didn't even think was possible! Especially the ending which was the most unintelligent crap I have ever witnessed in my life.There were no good kills, no satisfying resolutions or character development, no sympathizing relationships, just a really stupid movie.This was not horror, this was just horrible.Great horror movies are out there, many from South Korea and these days actually literally blow this crap to dust.Two words sum up this movie and the latest horror movie trend from Hollywood: So dumb.I miss Nightmare on Elm Street 1 and 3, where a plot was built and the creepiness unreality was an atmosphere unto itself! Halloween 1 and 2. Friday the 13th's very early beginnings had the right mood to really freak ya out. A Tale of Two Sisters, the original Dark Water not the remake, the original Ring 0 and even verbinski's The Ring was nice. Where have all the scary movies gone? Theonly scary movie I've been looking forward to in the last 2 years is SAW II. Though for sheer fun, The Hazing was pretty good.

markhaazen Surprised I had not heard of it. A Very decent slasher film with some emerging young stars in the cast like Agnes Bruckner (Blood & Chocolate), Laura Ramsey (The Covenant, The Ruins). Not very gory but feels like a good old school slasher from the 80's. Produced by Kevin Williamson who had a hand in Scream and I know what you did last summer! This is definitely one for slasher fans.This Film is a pleasure to watch and is a refreshing trip back to how slashers were not how they stand at the moment. A good villain, fun plot, the voodoo theme is a good one. Sure there's better, but there are a lot worse. If your into your slashers check out this gem that has been so poorly treated by its producers
