Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
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.
sdee79 Apart from the fact that there are a lot of "cheap" shots of rattlesnakes popping their heads out of a hill and snarling in anger during earth tremors, I found story to be weak and the acting barely mediocre. Other scenes are barely credible if at all like when the good doctor is looking for a rattlesnake specimens he walks a short distance down an underground tunnel, picks a few rattlers and out of nowhere, his return path is covered by snakes. Undaunted, our hero calmly shoves them aside with his foot while above ground, the good citizens are killed by single snakes that seem to wait inside the house beside toasters to pounce at the unsuspected.
chris-norman-04 I voted a ten on it because I easily earned my moneys worth on it, a whole 2 Bucks. Thats right. I've seen it twice now, and soon to be three times. I bought it because the movie looked terrible on the cover and the contents were even more terrible that I could ever have dreamed or hoped for. I am doing one of my last ever collegiate papers on this movie.... because the movie was SO bad. I would love to have a spoiler in this section but to be honest, there is nothing to really spoil unless you were really thinking that this movie could be at all good. I can tell you one thing though.... the climax, you know when you have just seen it because you will be thinking "was that the climax?" Completely horrible movie that i love.
Tonci Pivac Ok why does Treat Williams waste his talent on such terrible movies, He is much to good of actor to be in this film.This film is quite possible the worst film I have seen this year. Trust me if you see this film at your local video shop, then run as far away as possible.Mr. Williams please try and keep away from these type of films.2/10
