Best part of the movie is the Mojave Desert scenery. Mojave is timeless... and may she always remain that way. Ten stars for the Mojave. Two stars for the movie.

So stupid

This is the stupidest movie I have ever seen. The "deadly" snakes in this movie consist of non-venomous king snakes and corn snakes. Harmless. Corn snakes do not even live in the desert. Either the people who made this movie are retarded or their budget was to afford snakes that are not family pets. Also, when the snakes are in the scene, a rattling sound plays. These snakes are not rattle snakes. Maybe it would have been more believable if they used rattlers and if the lady didn't walk through the desert for 10 hours with nothing more than a few dizzy spells caused by the deadly little king snake. The plot made no sense. The girl had an Ipod and could research snake bites but not send an email for help?
Everything including the end sucked

It would have been kinda ok if the snakes were poisonous. But they were all harmless and don't even live in the desert.
How is it that everyone died almost instantly from being bit by the snakes but she made it.
Also why the heck show a snake on the cover that is not even in the movie ( false advertisement ) and the ending was completely stupid couldn't have even showed them being rescued and having the money .
This is one of those stupid movies you continue to watch just to see if there is a good part at all and there wasn't...
Pure Sh ite.....

This is a truly terrible film, one that deserves an "Oscar", as much as obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.....
Don't Waste Your Time.....
If I could have given it a zero star rating, or one in the negative zero range, in order to warn a prospective viewer, to seek another form of entertainment, I would have done so.....

Throw all Logic out the Window, and you get this Movie

Honestly, laughably bad. The Plot isn't terrible. The dessert actually does have some nice scenery. I also admire the flashback to Helen's night out. Which leavs us with a drunk character for the whole entire movie. Which, without a doubt is Hillarious atleast in my mind.
The producers of the movie must of been drunk themselves. I mean who throws there phone in the middle of oh yes NOWHERE. So they can't call for help, they can't shout because no-one will here them. I mean the start of the movie is also Hillariously bad too, he gets shot and acts like nothings the matter. Okay then, having a gunshot in your body is definitely normal. I'll just casually stroll away when I get shot, it's just very unrealistic. It would never happen.
The Screenwriter hasn't done a great job either though, atleast in my opinion. The writer was also drunk I think. I Don't know the relationship between the mother and daughter, and they act as if they don't know each other. For the majority of the movie her daughter is calling her by her first name, repeatedly. It all feels unnatural. And the relationship isn't great between them. It's like they bearly no each other, and they have zero chemistry. I think a brick wall would give us more chemistry to be honest. But considering the dialogue wasn't great for the most part, I think the performances weren't too bad, considering.
The movie is really lacking that spark. The music just isn't it, most of the film has the same exact music. And it gets to the point of repetition, and in this case not in a good way. The movie is flat. The whole storyline is Helen getting some time away from the father of the daughter. And because she killed a snake, a snake in utter rage tries to catch up with them. Some evil terrorists that lack any knowledge and do the dumbest things. And that's pretty much it.
I'd recommend this if your with your friends, to have a laugh. You'll get a few chuckles. But if you want to keep your brain cells in tact I'd advise you to avoid this movie at all cost. The Movie is free, and even I'm regretting watching it. I need my time back. All in all not great. Time for the verdict.
Verdict,
2/10 Some noticeable good stuff, but overall really poor. Don't waste your time.

Snake-O-Vision: The Movie
HorrorFan201313 June 2013
While there may have been an over exuberance of evil snake films in the past few years following the release of Snakes on a Plane, it is still possible for one to experience such a film with great enjoyment. That is where Venom comes in. The next time you have a pizza in the car and are hitting up the Redbox, check out this fun sci-fi flick.
As Helen and Lilly are driving through the desert, on their way to spend some quality mother-daughter time together. They mistakenly run over a snake, and don't think anything of it. Later, they run over something else, and discover that the former snake's mate is actually hunting them down. The pair becomes involved with murderous drug dealers as well, throwing more danger and excitement into the mix.
While not Oscar-bait, Venom provides a thoroughly entertaining movie for any Friday or Saturday night with the friends. The main draw of the friend is the emotional bond shared between the mother and daughter. What starts out as bitter resentment turns into a shared fight for survival.
Another way in which the film stands out from its peers is with what I will call it's "snake- o-vision," the point of view of the snake as it approaches its victims. Venom proves that it is another great addition to the films that thrive in the darkness on Saturday night. Campy and fun, Venom is one to enjoy with a large group of friends, pizza, and a couple beers.
