Frankly spoken I don't expect much of a good movie, especially if it is labelled 'horror'. All I want is a tiny bit of original material. Venomous fails to deliver any of that.
The story is taken from 'Outbreak' only without that movies' style and class. The special effects range from dull to not existent, and even the few twists this story contains are given away without any thought at all.
The idea of a virus spreading through snake bites seems intriguing, but in this movie there are far too many questions left unanswered.
Who are the terrorists in the beginning? What did the snakes feed upon the following years (without spreading the virus?).
The only surprise was German actor Hannes Jaennicke as supporting doctor. I didn't think of him speaking English so fluently.
If You want my advice for what it's worth. Don't pay for watching this movie. Go and rent "Outbreak", you will not regret it.
