As the body count spins out of control, the U.S. Army is dispatched to help quarantine the victims and the lethal reptiles. But the virus is spreading more quickly than anyone can respond.

Cool! March 5, 2006
S.M. (Louisiana)
I own this movie and bought it because I'm a snake lover and will watch any movie or program with snakes in it! This movie was good. It's about a small town that gets invaded by very deadly genetically altered snakes. Once bitten, the victims die very quickly. Things get so bad that the army is sent to quarantine both the surviving victims and the snakes themselves. With the virus spreading so quickly, the race is on to save lives. Good suspense film. Cool snakes. A good movie to watch even though rated PG-13 and not being a horror movie. Good movie for snake lovers to watch also. I'd recommend renting this film if you haven't seen it yet. It's worth it.

This is an interesting film about an outbreak of a deadly virus in the same town that Invasion of the Body Snatchers is supposed to take place in. As our hero follows the clues he discovers the poisonous snakes are the villains. As the town is quarantined and about to be nuked by the presidents orders, Treat Williams must act fast to find a way to stop the mayhem that's going down. There's a nice commentary on the DVD, which helps explain various things. It's a nice effort.

When you look at this DVD you may think that this is going to be one of those movies where there's a giant mutated snake that eats people. If you do, you're wrong. This is what you can call a "Realistic" movie. It is about when some rattlesnakes in a laboratory/workshop are left alive when two people blow the building up. The snakes make a den in the ground and there are small earthquakes from time to time so the snakes are forced to come to the surface. When they get there, one snake bites a farmer and he dies in the hospital. All the snakes start biting everyone in Sana Mira, California and they wipe out almost the entire population. One of the nurses claim in her studies that the desease is echoeli. It was sad w hen the dog and the little kitten and the elderly couple get killed. To me, it felt like the movie was way too short. There could have been more to the story. I'd like to see waht happens next if they come out with a Venomous 2. This movie is almost like a documentary. To my surprise there wasn't any gore. Otherwise, this movie is a pretty good scifi movie.

The career of Treat Williams has certainly been a circular one. After a brilliant start in the awesome "Prince of the City" and "Hair," this fine actor has gone from real bombs to mediocre material like "Venomous." Williams plays a loveably crusty middle-aged town doctor who is plunged into terror when a strange virus overtakes his small town. His estranged wife (Mary Page Keller) is a viral specialist in Washington and he is forced to bring her in as an assistant. The virus is caused by the bite of genetically mutated rattlesnakes, who escaped during a terrorist attack in 1990; of course the government wants their blunder kept secret. So the nasty government (under the auspices of the delightfully cool Tony Denison) decides to get rid of the town. There is some reasonably good suspense and the acting is above average. Hannes Jaeneke has a nice turn as Williams' studly assistant, who gets shot and we don't see any evidence of the shot in the following scene, but the bandage grows in the next two times we see him. It's directed by the prolific pseudonymned Fred Olen Ray (this time he's Ed Howard). It's not a bad movie, per se, just average and mildly entertaining.
