Vipers (2008)

Redundant and unnecessary.

As Good As It Gets

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Genetically altered CGI vipers go on the rampage on a small island in this SCIFI original film. The plot has something to do with a cure for cancer in the venom of the snakes and the evil company that tinkered with them to get better results.Scifi has been churning out made for TV horror and scifi flicks for years now and they've become so generic that at least among my friends we describe films as the sort of thing they might run. Vipers is that sort of thing. Its a low brow horror film that gives you exactly what you expect from a film that premiered on SCIFI-and viewed in that vein worth a box of popcorn and a soda.

That was quite easily the worst movie I have ever seen. You can forgive poor visuals but not the story line, facts and acting. It is one of those films that those involved must question why they made the film in the 1st place. This film could only have passed as respectable if a small town made the film to promote itself. Its unfortunate someone like Don Davis (may he rest in peace) put his name to the film. Its a train wreck that probably has to be seen to be believed. Snakes that could chew human flesh, hunt in packs, eat all the fish in the water and leave almost no human remains is bordering on ridiculous. At some stages they flew at their victims and attacked necks like they were a predator. The scenes where they attract the snakes with flame throwers in the middle of the night so the dozens of survivors could run to the boat sums up the film. Forget the snakes inability to stay warm enough and active enough at night, not to mention the snakes just happen to ignore the vibrations in the ground made by all those running people. It makes "Snakes on a plane" look decent and "Anaconda" look like like a multiple award winner and thats not easy to do. Save your money and if you have to spend it, give it to a good charity.

I was utterly shocked about how bad this movie was. The all-around stupidity of it is just flooring. The first hour is basically a soap opera with some absolutely unrealistic death-by-snake scenes injected into the various subplots of who is sleeping with whom and who is mourning whom, blah blah blah. The deaths are totally unbelievable because the snakes jump, fly, scream, and devour human bodies in mere minutes. Granted, they are genetically engineered, but COME ON! Combine that with a mindless script, terrible acting, and bloopers such as no snakes on a bridge followed by dozens of snakes on the bridge a few seconds later... and you've got yourself one heck of a loser flick. Another shining example of the human ingenuity here is when the survivors are all holed up in the "hotel" (which looks more like a restaurant), and they've had quite a bit of time to fortify their location. However, everyone overlooked the gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, through which several bad CGI snakes strike before someone gets the bright idea of plugging it up. Brilliant.I must admit to chuckling at the howling death screams of the snakes. That fact, however, does not in any way restore this film to a rating higher than 1. And poor Don S. Davis... why? Why? Why would you be part of this rubbish??? I guess I'm just tired of these motherf------ snakes in this motherf------ film! ;)

Where does one start? Crappy effects...brutal acting.... plot obvious from the 5th minute. Stereotype characters.Tara Reid. How low will you go? She wore a heavy vest through most of the movie which, I'm sure, was to hide her awful boob job.Poor Don S. Davis. One of his last films. Maybe the shame of the release was too much for him.Was there a script? A director? It looked like everyone was given an outline and told to improvise.OK. I take it back. This is so bad , it's funny.Go snakes GO!!!!
