Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

As someone said previously, Krista Allen could be the only justified reason that you'll find after watching this film. I understand the idea behind the script, but the delivered scenario was a complete failure, starting from the attitude and the actions of Krista Allen's assistant and carry on with the imminent danger and attack of a foreign enemy. ... Of course, despite having all the modern technologies on their side, it was not possible for the Asian enemy to stop a museum submarine, but hell, you need more than this and some snakes against a schoolboys crew. Acting? Non-existent. Special effects are laughable, if the case, the highlight being the big snakes rolling down submarine's corridors. Krista Allen wasn't convincing as a scientist and neither her qualities haven't been well reflected by a too static role.

Genetically enhanced deadly snakes get loose on board a submarine on its final run. It's up to tough veteran Lt. Commander James O'Neill (a solid performance by Luke Perry) to figure out a way to stop them before it's too late.Director Fred Olen Ray, working from a compact script by Mark Sanderson, keeps the enjoyably inane and eventful story moving along at a quick pace, stages the snake attacks with flair, treats the silly premise seriously, and generates a good deal of claustrophobic tension. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast, with especially praiseworthy contributions from the foxy Krista Allen as perky scientist Dr. Andrea Swanson, Tom Berenger as the hard-nosed Admiral Bradley Wallace, Louis Mandylor as greedy bumbling jerk Jake Goldini, Anthony Tyler Quinn as O'Neill's loyal longtime friend Eddie Boudrea, and John L. Curtis as eager rookie officer Houston Davies. The cruddy CGI snakes possess a certain lovably low-rent charm. Theo Angell's slick cinematography provides a nice glossy look. Stu Goldberg's robust score does the rousing trick. A fun little Grade-B flick.

Fred Olin Ray with Luke Perry and Tom Berenger is what amounts to "Snakes on a Sub". the plot has a decommissioned sub going to rescue a research team from an island. The crew is unaware that the people they are rescuing are doing research with poisonous snakes, and that the snakes will inevitably get out at the worst possible time.How many films have there been with computer generated snakes over the last couple of years. Too many if you ask me, I'm guessing that the effects supply store had a fire sale and every low budget producer bought a snake program. That said as these sort of dumb films go this film is pretty good. Of course you'll have to over look a couple of logic gaps the size of Montana but assuming you can do that you might enjoy yourself. Actually if you watch this with friends in a witty mood, you'll have an even better time.

this is one of the worst movies about killer snakes i have ever seen.the cgi is so bad it looks like a cartoon.you will laugh when it shows the giant cartoon looking snakes.the only reason i sat and watched all of this movie is because krista allen was in it.even with the brunette goddess in this it was tough to sit through.also Luke perry was in this so that is another reason to hate it along with horrible special effects.so if you are a krista allen fan i suggest on giving this a look but if you are not a fan you might as well forget about watching this because you will regret that you did.when will movie makers learn that cgi is to fake looking unless you have a big budget.
