That was an excellent one.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

2002 was not a great movie year, being a big ol'nerd I like analytics and 2002 is right down there on the yearly rankings.This was a pick and mix movie and I was happy to immediatly see William Katt on the credits, this is an underrated actor who is among my favorites.It tells the story of a group of tourists who get stuck on "Snake Island". And in a really unpredictable turn of events they gradually get picked off by *Drumroll* snakes!It's main flaw is the lack of consistency, is it a horror or a comedy? It flits from serious to silly within the space of a single scene. In fact some scenes are so ridiculous it pretty much flatlines the entire film.The wildlife shots are great, Katt is on form and the film certainly has its moments but I'm left feeling they perhaps should have just gone all out and made this a comedy film.Forgettable nonsense.The Good:Some fantastic wildlife footageWilliam KattThe Bad:Gets a bit silly in placesCliched to hellThings I Learnt From This Movie:If you have a phobia of snakes it makes perfect sense to go to a place called Snake IslandIt's not a party until a girl randomly takes her clothes offIf you need to hunt and kill innocent creatures to get a happy, start with yourself

This film essentially begins in a remote region of Africa with a boat carrying several tourists up a river in the wilderness. However, when they stop at a small place known as Snake Island to gather supplies the crew notices that there is nobody at the dock to greet them. Curious about this, three of the crew go ashore to find out what has happened with instructions for the passengers to remain on the boat. Unfortunately, when a cobra makes its way onto the boat a novelist named "Malcolm Page" (William Katt) accidentally punctures the gas tank in an effort to kill it. This leaves everybody stranded on the island where it soon becomes clear that the snakes are quite plentiful--and extremely aggressive. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off well enough and appeared to have some potential. At least at first as there were a couple of scenes which had some decent suspense here and there. Likewise, both Kate Connor (as "Heather Dorsey") and Nicola Hanekom ("Ronnie") certainly added some nice scenery as well. Unfortunately, after the first 30 minutes or so many of the scenes became somewhat repetitious which caused my interest to wane a bit. That being said, while this wasn't a bad film by any means it wasn't necessarily that good and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

Arriving in South Africa, tourists stopping off at a small-time hunting location going missing one-by-one realize that the island has a long and storied history involving venomous snakes inhabiting the island and band together to find a way off the island.There was some good stuff to this one that makes it work. One of its best features is that it has a lot more action to it than expected, which is a lot of fun and helps move this one along nicely. One of the best encounters is the snake's attack on the bunker, from the rather fun image of seeing all the snakes come out of nowhere, ready to hiss and spit from out of every corner of the room and leading to a variety of fun methods in an extended battle that requires a lot in order to get them under control. The final charge to get off the island is another rather fun and enjoyable action, using several different terrains and locations, featuring great tactics from the encounter along the river stream to the rope-propeller escape along the mountains and even including the initial escape across the open plains on a lawnmower and it makes this rather fun. Aside from the action, it's rather suspenseful earlier on here where they go about on a night-time tour of the island and stumble upon a series of different animal encounters that make for some fun times, especially since the whole encounter takes place at night which certainly helps, as well as the early discovery of the abandoned camp which has a lot to like about it from the incredibly creepy outlook and how it's all presented together. The last plus here is the fun campfire sequence, from the nudity to the revelation of the island's back-story and the eroticism of the whole event, it all works with the snakes slithering around in the background. These here are what work for the film while there weren't a whole lot of real flaws to this one. The film's biggest issue is the use of real snakes in here as the inclusion of the numerous normal-sized creatures just doesn't do anything for anyone and makes them non-threatening instead. They're easier to get rid off and escape from, and there's just not much that the film can deliver in the way of bloody or gory kills. It removes the option of going for the really over-the-top and exciting kills that can be accomplished as this is pretty much restricted to just a few bite- wounds after the fact and the sounds of the dead snakes only, feeling remarkably dry for a killer snake film. The last flaw with the film is the rather weird dream sequence late in the film, where they involve talking snakes singing a nursery rhyme to one of the victims which is completely out-of-place with the rest of the realistic film, doesn't have a purpose and sticks out quite readily. Even though there's some really good parts to this, the flaws are enough to knock it down a bit.Rated R: Graphic Language, Nudity and Violence.

Don't waste your time. One of those cool-looking boxes that you pick up at Blockbuster on a hunch, but not even worth that. You will NOT say, "It's so bad, it's good." Just, "It's bad." The Greatest American Hero is a writer who rents a cabin on African island, called Snake Island. Some other tourists are on the boat that drops him off, but they are not staying on the island. They just stop there to let off the writer. Then the boat is stranded there, and --in true Hollywood originality-- the one and only radio on the island is busted. So they start walking around and see a bunch of snakes. Like hundreds of them, which really became annoying and you knew the plot would go nowhere. It's not like there ever was ONE main snake. Like a giant mutated snake or an extra poisonous king of all snakes. Instead, there are just a bunch of ham-and-egger snakes of all kinds of breeds. Their only goal, then, was to escape the island...as opposed to having to conquer the enemy. Because there were so many snakes, you knew they couldn't possibly try to kill them all, and they didn't try. I've seen a similar movie where a town was haunted by snakes and they lead all the snakes into a cave then blew it up. At least then you get the feeling that the good guys killed the bad guys and it was a normal ending. In Snake Island (by the way, every single character was shocked to see snakes on the Island...duhhhhh, it's NAMED Snake Island for a reason), there was no plan other than trying to get gas for the stupid boat. Oh, they never do get gas by the way. They "just happen" to find another boat on the island already gassed up.
