It's All Over

Dumb and incredibly cheesy

I wonder on which planet the makers were staying around the time "Anaconda" flopped... That movie clearly proved like no other that it's a bad idea to make a horror film about a giant terrorizing snake, but at least it had a fairly interesting cast and a neat jungle-setting. "Python"...has absolutely nothing going for it. The premise once again handles about a twisted doctor who saw a potentially great military weapon in the hunting & defense mechanisms of this snake-species, so he created an exaggeratedly large and ferocious mutant specimen. The 'animal' naturally escapes during transport and our doctor allows it to devour an entire remote community, rather than to destroy his unique discovery. "Python" is a rapidly paced and weakly scripted attempt to cash in on the popular revival of the creature-features, but even the least demanding horror fans will consider it a waste of time. The giant snake looks incredibly ridiculous and the make-up effects couldn't be cheesier. The typical hillbillies-gags aren't funny and the forced happy-ending really looks pathetic. The cast is stuffed with have-been B-actors, like Casper Van Dien (here's a guy who should really consider a career change), Robert Englund, Sean Whalen and Will Wheaton. There also is a cameo for Jenny McCarthy as a sex-hungry rich girl...Now that must have been a difficult casting choice. Avoid watching"Python" at all costs, unless you're planning to get really drunk first.
