I found my way to the 2022 Chinese creature feature "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" as part of a marathon of Chinese monster movies. Unfortunately the majority of the movies were mediocre at best, so I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to this 2022 movie from writer and director Wu Yang.
Yet, I still opted to watch the movie, since I had never seen it before, nor actually heard about it. And I am glad that I did, because "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" was actually one of the better of these numerous Chinese creature features that I have recently sat through.
The storyline in "Deep Sea Mutant Snake", as written by Wu Yang, is a pretty straight forward one, even for a creature feature with monstrous, gargantuan snakes. But there is still something enjoyable and entertaining about it, whilst it is somewhat generic in nature.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but they had a fair collection of actors and actresses on the cast list to portray the various roles and to bring both the characters and storyline to life on the screen.
Something that definitely kept "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" afloat and sort of set it aside from many others of the same type of Chinese movies was the special effects. The CGI effects in "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" was good. In fact, it was actually the best CGI rendered effects I have seen in the many Chinese creature features I have recently sat through. And with it being a movie with a gargantuan snake, and other creatures, then having proper and believable effects is a make or break factor.
If you enjoy creature features, then "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" from writer and director Wu Yang, is well worth taking 80 minutes to sit down and watch.
My rating of "Deep Sea Mutant Snake" lands on a six out of ten stars.
