Review of Venom

Venom (2005)
6/10
Fun For Slasher Fans
21 May 2006
I wasn't expecting a lot out of this little slasher flick, but it ended up being more creative and suspenseful than I would have guessed. The visuals are decent, the teens actually look like real teens (instead of actors in their late 20's), and the soundtrack is killer (Rob Zombie!)! While it's not a full-bore blood bath, it will satisfy gore hounds, and watching all these poor little teeny boppers get brutally murdered is just plain harsh! Yes, the "gypsy magic" crap and the snakes are lame, and it really is just a "dead teenager" movie (as Roger Ebert would call it), but ah, whaddaya gunna do? I don't see why this has such a low IMDb rating, considering that it's strictly geared for slasher fans, and will probably satisfy that audience.
