Silent Venom Reviews:
Good Job!
2009-10-27 - 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.
2009-10-14 - 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
2009-08-17 - 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???

good scare for youngsters
2009-06-29 - No cussing, has mutant snakes but not real scary, has some good acting from newcomers.

Snakes On A Submarine
2009-06-22 - Silent Venom: DVD Review

Grade: B-

Alright--so the plot isn't that original. Ever since Snakes on a Plane (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series), there have been numerous rip-offs, from Snakes on a Train, to this movie, Silent Venom. The title should be Snakes On A Submarine though--that's all the plot really is.

Luke Perry (90210) plays a retiring submarine captain. For his last mission, he must take a decommissioned submarine to Okinawa, Japan. But on the way he has to pick up some scientists on a island, along with their cargo. And it's not very long before some dumb crew member gets curious, and opens up the cargo...Letting 20 highly venomous snakes loose. And then later in the movie, 2 giant genetically engineered snakes get loose too.

Sounds like a typical Sci-Fi channel movie. (I'm surprised--it actually isn't.) Silent Venom has it's fair share of cool scenes, but I just wish the giant snakes would be in the spotlight more. (They're probably not because of budgetary reasons....) Even though the giant snakes are just CGI (really bad CGI), they still look laughingly cool. Alas, they are seen only in the first minutes of the movie, and the last part of the movie. For the rest of the movie, it's just regular snakes loose on board.

I did like the way they didn't make the regular snakes CGI though. Although it looks rather bad when the giant CGI snakes and regular snakes are together, it makes the movie more believable. (Vipers should have used real snakes too...) The only other problem with this movie is something other people have mentioned before--the actors are all to serious. For a movie called "Silent Venom" (I didn't know it made noise before?), the actors need to loosen up. They all look like they just want to collect their money and get out of there. The only one who even looked remotely believable has to be Tom Berenger, who plays an Army Lieutenant. All the others should just realize that this is a campy B-movie, made to be fun. Seriously, I don't think a giant snake movie is ever going to be scary anymore.

Still, Silent Venom manages to be more than just decent. Although it does lag in the middle, the fake giant snake action is enjoyable to watch. The actors though, aren't.
