Review of Snake Bite - In Search Of The King Cobra (DVD)

Snakes on a Plane Film Review

Advantages: Erm...
Disadvantages: Pretty much everything.

David R. Ellis' Snakes On A Plane is a high-concept film that deliberately attempts to parody the guilty-pleasure, cheese-fest cult classics that many of us love. In other words, the movie-makers have deliberately created a horrible movie. (Yes, it's true, Hollywood really has run out of ideas.) The title sums up the plot, with Samuel L.

But as for the alleged action I was waiting for, well, I had to wait another hour and a bit before I began to get back into the movie? it was basically seventy odd minutes of pure padding, consisting of some dodgy rubber looking snakes, who seemed to see everything in an illumines green colour, being released from ...
