All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Venom (1981)

Starring: Sterling Hayden, Oliver Reed, Klaus Kinski, Susan George, Sarah Miles,
Director: Piers Haggard

Premise:
A kid accidentally picks up a black mamba snake at the pet shop instead of his harmless, jungle snake. This coincide with a planned kidnapping from his caretakers. Naturally the black mamba gets loose and all are in jeopardy.

My Take:
The story is rather average but sure is fun watching Oliver Reed, Klaus Kinski, and Sterling Hayden chew up the scenes with the wackiness surrounding them.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: In the middle
