Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Ploydsge just watch it!
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Danii Disaster If this movie comes on on TV, you might as well watch it. But paying for it isn't really worth it.It isn't as bad as some reviews suggest. More or less watchable. Obviously, nothing original or remarkable about it, but watchable.It's a typical teen slasher, like many before it. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.The acting was sub-par, obviously. The story line, as expected, was not very plausible. The killing scenes were less than creative. But all this is to be expected from this type of movies, so no surprises there.Everything about it is just average or below that.Will do to pass time if there's nothing better and it's free.
BA_Harrison Rather than letting them suffer for their sins (as would be fitting), a stupid old voodoo priestess saves the souls of murderers and sadists by 'milking them' of their evil, which emerges from the body in the form of a snake; the silly old woman buries these nasty reptiles in a suitcase in the local graveyard, but when the land is scheduled for redevelopment, she decides to dig them back up. Long story short: a local redneck gets killed by the snakes and turns into an unstoppable killing machine (well, unstoppable until he gets hit by a truck, which is the unsatisfactory manner in which he is finally destroyed by the film's final girl.A beautifully eerie backwater town on the edge of a Louisiana swamp is the atmospheric setting for this supernatural horror from director Jim Gillespie (I Know What You Did Last Summer), but with a generic cast of attractive teens, workmanlike direction, irritating editing (the image does that flickery thing whenever the killer goes to work), predictable plot development, weak CGI, unimpressive gore and zero nudity, the result is just another bland, by the numbers slasher. Not good. Not bad. Just frustratingly mediocre. The only time the film ever surprises is when a character who one might reasonably expect to live to the end gets a knife in his head; other than that, it's the same-old same-old.
zombiefan89 It could have been a simple, mean guy comes back from the dead for revenge theme, but that was Jason and Freddy's territory. This movie was just lame. I honestly laughed every time that black girl opened her mouth talking about voo-doo crap. Does a slasher film even need an angle? Can't it just be a gas station owner going crazy and killing some teenagers? Why monologue us to death with the magic garbage? It ruined the movie. The kills were sort of creative. The killer was surprisingly determined, ripping a house apart to kill them, but then that black girl started talking hocus-pocus... I smiled when she died, as every other black person in this movie dies. I'm serious, every single black person. That's not even really a spoiler, since it's extremely common for minorities and promiscuous women to die, dating back to Night of the Living Dead in 1968. As I said, it could have been a good movie. That's why I liked Scream so much, just two teenagers, a typical Halloween costume, and kitchen knife. So simple, yet so perfect. When will Hollywood learn?
ctomvelu1 If the purpose in making VENOM was to create a new franchise, it obviously didn't work. A nasty-looking maniac full of evil spirits pursues a bunch of youths through the Louisiana swamps. He kills them in various, blood-drenched ways. Probem is, the killer is uninteresting and we've seen better kills in a half-dozen other slasher flicks. So VENOM became a one-off. The final confrontation, between a young woman (Bruckner) and the reptilian killer was a lift from both JASON and FREDDY films, although here it seems to take forever here. For true believers only. Oh, and fans of big, ugly CGI snakes, which have something to do with the creation of the killer (see the movie).
