an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

You don't have to wait the entire movie to see the low budget monster. A group of scientists go to the Amazon in search of a Fountain of Youth only to discover it is connected to a giant man-eating snake, who doesn't eat once a month like most snakes, but rather eats large meals daily like most man-eating movie snakes.The scene where the helicopter is in the air and gets struck by lightning, I watched several times. It reminded me of those old Flash Gordon serials where the plane is flying on a string.The movie has a lack of bad language, sexual scenes, or nudity. The gore is minimum, but people do get bit in half. It has that "made for TV" movie feel, which is bad. The characters are not that well developed or likable as I found myself rooting for the snake.

Allan A. Goldstein's inspired direction brings incredible creativity and vision to this refreshingly original horror film. Creating an environment that's overwhelming in its tense darkness and unrelenting terror, Goldstein weaves a tight story against the backdrop of a steaming jungle where the atmosphere is virtually unendurable. The creature that stalks its victims without mercy is one of the most stunningly horrible ever imagined and will leave audiences long-lasting nightmares. A fine cast gives memorably powerful performances and Stephen Baldwin does some of the finest work of his career. Exotic locales, intense thrills, and never-let-up shocks make for superb cinema horror and a motion picture experience you will simply never forget.

Most of the movies Sy-Fy does, reek of a fourth grade writing project and abysmal special effects. This movie may have the same problems, but I can't tell. The only way this movie could hold my attention the first time, is because I am absolutely infatuated with Jayne Heitmeyer on here.I have probably seen this stinker a dozen times and I'll watch it a dozen more just because of Ms. Heitmeyer. I can't help it! Love the close ups. Love the way she looks at the camera.In short, I am totally unqualified to judge this movie. Sorry.One of these days I'll edit out everything but her and use it to replace the beautiful sunsets and mountain views we don't get here in Indiana.

Can bad movies ever get any worse? Maybe. But for the moment, Snakeman beats everything in its shear awfulness. The snake is just SO fake, even the one in Python would choke on its own tongue. The actors are bad, they couldn't act if there lives depended on it, even if they sold their souls to Sponge Bob Squarepants first. I don't understand why the many-headed snake is actually a good creature, it seems to enjoy tearing and ripping and killing people in various and imaginative ways, yet it gives the Mysterious Indian Tribe that Stinks its great gift of eternal youth... This mystifies me. The teams that are sent to the rather fake looking jungle seem to be well equipped with big and savage-looking automatic rifles, large vicious snakes are probably commonplace in the jungle... Not a good film, if it appears on your TV, switch the channel or it will take a little bite out of your intellect.
