Surprisingly Good Snake-Scarer January 25, 2010 Carolyn Paetow (Proctorville, OH United States) No bimbos, buffoons, or half-bare boobs. No trash-talking teens or bellows of "Take that, bitch!" No sick gags, splashes of gore, or sexual gratuity. Just slithericious, snaky suspense, marred slightly by two oversized CGI serpents.
The performances are low-key and credible, with a nicely controlled tad of intra-command conflict and sexual tension. Mistitled Sea Snakes for the SyFy channel--instead of the more accurate (and likely) Snakes on a Sub--the movie should sufficiently titillate fans of traditional flicks that rely upon instinctive simian aversion to the serpentine instead of stock cartoonish characters and supersonic action.
a good imitation November 25, 2009 Eliane T. Goncalves (sao paulo, brazil) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I know this is only an imitation, like one of those hundreds of Alien imitations but like the Stones say it is only science fiction, but i like it.It looks like a made-for-TV movie and would have been a great film if the budget was a little more generous. THE surprises are, luke perry and tom berenger are the worst actors in the movie and the crew is very convincing
Good Job! October 27, 2009 Linda Thompson (Lawton, OK USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received this product in a timely manner and in the condition it was advertised as. I would purchase from Amazon again.
I was surprised that this was a good movie. October 14, 2009 Gregory Holmes 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yes the CGI snakes look awful but everything else in this film is right on target. Luke Perry leads an excellent cast and they all do a respectable job in their roles. The script, while presenting a rather unlikely scenario, is not a complete insult. The directing and editing are fine and the film features a very old school music score. Perry is the best thing in the film and gets to show off a comedic side with his character (but it never goes over the top). There are a few genuinely tense scenes. If you can forgive the rotten CGI giant snakes, the rest of the film is fine. By the way, most of the snakes in the film are real, only the pair of giant snakes are CGI and the real snakes look pretty threatening. In one scene Luke Perry has to remove a bunch of them from Krista Allen and that sequence was pretty squirm inducing. All in all this was a movie that was far better than it had any right to be. I enjoyed it very much.
Luke - Find a New Profession August 17, 2009 P. B Rubalcaba (Redlands, CA USA) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Luke Perry destroyed this film. Who in the heck cast him in this role? Did a relative do him a favor, or destroy his acting career? He is an abomination to sci-fi flicks. This guy is totally mis-cast in a film that had promise. Don't take it personal Luke, but your calling is not acting. Maybe you should be a professional massager or a dream weaver consultant. There is no venom in your acting. Only silence. Please change careers. Avoid this film. I bought it for $3...and I still feel I was completely robbed. I took a nap midstream during this abomination and fake horror thriller...and guess what? I DIDN'T MISS A THING. Snakes in a submarine??? Let's submerge the writer and director so they never surface again. Horrendous. The snakes are as real as those things you get in a 25-cent bubble gum machine. The acting slithers with incompetency. SILENT venom is a "SILENT" film...or should be. I had more bite from my ex-wife (and venom, too). A total disaster. It could have been made into a 30-minute short film...and STILL would have failed. Whoever concocted this piece of snake &^%*$, should slither on down the road and beg for a job at a fast-food store...maybe der weinersnakesell???
