4/10
Slithers with cliché
25 March 2005
There is a rare flower that grows only in a remote part of the Indonesian jungle. It has the ability to help cells multiply with lessened risk of infection and thus, prolongs life. If obtained, it could be turned into a medicinal product that could save millions and prolong the life of others. The catch: a pack of psycho snakes lives where the flower grows.

The result here is a laughably predictable and routine creature feature. They say too many cooks spoil the stew... the fact that there are four screenwriters is probably why there is not a hint of originality slithering about. The director was just fed up with the different ideas and resorted to a generic story so there at least will be some coherence. The snakes are cool, but have too little screen time to be considered scary, though their appearances are often startling. But in the end, if have you seen one movie like this, you've seen them all. Only fans of creature flicks should watch this. 4/10

Rated PG-13: violence, terror, and some profanity
