1.0 out of 5 stars If you want to see a movie about rattle snakes watch Sighlent Preditors, February 23, 2006

By	Ted E. Kissel "Ted Kissel" (Greencastle IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first saw this movie I thought it would rock, man was I wrong. It was a stupid movie about normal rattle snakes that never even killed a single person. And it was not thrilling at all. If you want to watch a movie about rattle snakes see Sighlent Preditors it may be a PG-13 horror, but it is one of the few good ones. The rattle snakes are much better developped and they kill many people plus it's verry scarry expicially if you live in a nice quiet neighboor hood like me.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Bye bye snake...bye bye snake....bye bye snake...", January 18, 2004

By	TrezKu13 (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The characters are all fairly innocent - a construction company is just blowing away land to make way for a luxurious neighborhood project. Unfortunately, a den of rattlensakes are disturbed right where the explosions go off.

However, these are no ordinary rattlesnakes - no sir! These are super-intellegent ninja snakes! They not only know how to move in large numbers and catch rides on trucks to different parts of the town, but they can also easily sneak up on people with out any one noticing them beforehand, and they're able to sneak in and out of houses, killing their foes with out leaving a trace!

And they are led by one snake. I know not a name for this fellow, but I can only call him the "Master Snake." You can easily identify him by the striped part of his tail, just before his rattler, and the black beady eyes on his head. You can also see him through out the movie, invading homes and leading his snake bretheren in their unholy quest to rid their den of the human scourge. It is he who attacks the yard worker, eats the young boy's gerbil, and at the end of the movie, even though he is frozen and then thrown against a wall twice, still manages to hound the stepdad and bratty son, attacking them again and again with renewed strength.

His finest hour comes when the daughter tries to flush him. Sure, flushing a large rattler down the toilet usually works - but not this time, for this is the Master Snake! He manages to make the toilet overflow and swim to the surface. With the spirit of vengeance, he crawls out of the bathroom and corners the daughter in the bathtub. Though she some how gets away, it is only because of bad editing...but our Master Snake won't let bad editing get him down, for he warps back to the rattlers' new lair where he prepares his defense against the well-meaning but misunderstood stepdad.

Yes, see this movie for the Master Snake...because you surely won't care about the other characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fomulaic albeit watchable, March 29, 2006

By	F. J. Harvey "Cricket ,country music and a go... (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rattlesnakes,disturbed by a construction project in the community of Eden Valley,awaken from their slumbers hungry and angry .They set out in search of food-human ,animal or avian ,it matters not .The opposition to the slithering hordes is lead by Paul Donahue (William Katt)the man behind the project .Snakes are not his only worry however-he is married to the local Doctor and his new stepson is finding it hard to adjust to his new dad ,constantly comparing him unfavourably to his "real "father .Plus ,he is phobic about snakes and can only triumph and save his family if he is able to overcome this situation
There is not an ounce of originality in the movie which slavishly adheres to the creature feature template from characterisation to situation .The central conceit -serpents in a community bearing the name of Eden-is as unsubtle as you can get ;despites these handicaps it manages to be watchable with some decent performances helping ,especially Ian Abercrombie as the local herpatologist Dr Ramsey

An okay time killer
