2002 was not a great movie year, being a big ol'nerd I like analytics and 2002 is right down there on the yearly rankings.
This was a pick and mix movie and I was happy to immediatly see William Katt on the credits, this is an underrated actor who is among my favorites.
It tells the story of a group of tourists who get stuck on "Snake Island". And in a really unpredictable turn of events they gradually get picked off by *Drumroll* snakes!
It's main flaw is the lack of consistency, is it a horror or a comedy? It flits from serious to silly within the space of a single scene. In fact some scenes are so ridiculous it pretty much flatlines the entire film.
The wildlife shots are great, Katt is on form and the film certainly has its moments but I'm left feeling they perhaps should have just gone all out and made this a comedy film.
Forgettable nonsense.
The Good:
Some fantastic wildlife footage
William Katt
The Bad:
Gets a bit silly in places
Cliched to hell
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If you have a phobia of snakes it makes perfect sense to go to a place called Snake Island
It's not a party until a girl randomly takes her clothes off
If you need to hunt and kill innocent creatures to get a happy, start with yourself
