SILENT VENOM
Snakes…on a submarine.
PLOT
Luke Perry is a Navy officer that’s almost ready to retire and spend the rest of his many years with his young daughter. He’s called upon to pick up a scientist and an assistant who are working on a top secret project on an island in the middle of nowhere. Cut to Krista Allen as the scientist, who’s actually working on breeding several types of snakes to create a massive hybrid snake. Her assistant cunningly sneaks several specimens back onto the submarine, where of course they get loose. Allen offers up the anti-venom, but when it fails to work, the crew must locate all the snakes. Um and they’re being chased by the Chinese military for veering into their waters…
TRIVIA
Krista Allen previously starred in Feast.
THOUGHTS
I knew exactly how to explain this movie to my friends: It’s snakes…on a submarine…with Luke Perry. Suddenly my Facebook page was a hubbub of activity, as people came out of the woodwork wanting to know what it was called and where it came from. I have no doubt that Wal-Mart saw their inventory of Silent Venom drop by several copies. Silent Venom is one of those movies that you have to watch with friends because it’s nearly impossible to sit through alone. When you do watch it with your friends, I guarantee that you’ll have a good time.
I saw Snakes on a Plane a while back; I thought it delivered what it promised. I loved the song.
Speaking of action I just rented a movie from Blockbuster called War starring Jason Stratham and Jet Li. It was good. . . though I couldn’t stop liking the fact that the music reminded me of a great video game that has no relation to the film.
I thought the film was very good and had a lot of action.
Sorry to take this off-track because I felt I had to talk about the flick.
The flick reminded me of Deus-Ex: The Conspiracy, an epic game that had a lot to it and took probably hours and weeks to get through. The film I was just talking about felt long.
Okay. Silent Venom sounds kind of interesting. How are ya, Horrorqueen?
