Trailer Synopsis Cast

A small town, desperate to recover from hard economic times, is under threat when voracious Snakehead fish mutate and survive previous lake chemical poisonings. The fish transform from pests to predators when human growth hormones are dumped into the local lake in the hopes of reviving the local fishing industry. Thriving on the hormones, the Snakehead fish grow to monstrous proportions, devouring everything within reach. Capable of moving and eating on land, they are forced to leave the now barren lake in a desperate search for food - animal, vegetable or human.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Let me get technical and use some big, movie words to describe this movie. It sucks.Snakehead Terror is about mutant fish attacking the town, and causing all sorts of chaos. Take one group of inexperienced, rowdy, drunk teens turned Militia, who are so dumb, it's painful. Add in a plot about some idiot dumping growth hormone into the water, but you know, he never meant to hurt anyone. Add in bad jokes, bad gore, and bad acting and you have this s#1t-fillet, Snakehead Terror.I want to focus on the gore, because it could have been done right, it could have redeemed the movie, but they failed it. Instead we get cheesy gore, with blood that's extremely too bright. It all looks like raw meat with excessively too much red food coloring. And the fact the kid can walk with a broken leg? And the fish look dumb as hell, and all the do is flop back and forth. Oh and the CGI of them swimming is laughable.Want to laugh at SciFi (or Syfy)'s expense? Watch this, you'll laugh 'til it hurts.

I saw this on SciFi CHannel. It sucks.On the upside, if Snakehead proves anything it proves three things: 1) An actor will do a movie, no matter how bad it is, as long as you pay him enough. 2) A high powered electric gun in the hands of a woman is a recipe for disaster. 3) and three, if Sci-Fi channel feeds us enough crap for long enough, eventually people will begin to adjust and lower their expectations enough to see that crap as high art.I wish Sci-Fi would stop insulting us with this garbage and show movies that challenge us to think instead of just sit there with our brains open so Sci-Fi Channel could can use it as a septic tank for flotsam.I am, however, encourage by an original Scf-Fi channel movie in the works. It is called "Dinocrocasaurusacondachabrafish". It centers on a giant, mutant dinosaur that was found frozen in the Antarctic. A team of leading scientists are able to thaw the giant carcass, only to discover that it is still alive! They soon find themselves in a fight for their lives which they quickly lose. Then, in a freak accident, the dinosaur falls into a pool of toxic waste containing the genetic code of 5 species of freak monsters. The dinosaur mutates even further, and grows to half the size of the planet earth, leaving destruction in its path, as a rogue team of military mercenary/martial arts experts pit their wits and superhuman powers against the giant beast!!The tagline is : "When nature calls, don't answer!"I just cannot wait!

I only started watching from when two kids go swimming and get eaten up, not that it mattered because you catch on quickly and it pulls you in. It even had a scene where the town sheriff tells the mayor, "we need to shut down the lake! something out there is killing people!" and of course the mayor replies with "Are you kidding?? No way I'm shutting it down! It's summer!" It also has a girl accidentally kill a man by shooting a tank of gasoline on his boat. They just shrug it off. It has all the elements of a cheesy jaws rip off. I also recommend "Shark Attack 3: Megaladon". That movie will crack you up. Much like this movie, Shark Attack 3 is one of those movies Blockbuster tries blending in with the other new releases. Similar "Snakes" "Ants" "Lep In Da Hood" and films of the like, these two movies are nothing but hilarious. Shark Attack 3 is the better because it's more rated R and contains one of the funniest lines in movie history. Definitely check that one out.
