Okay folks, what do you get when a big Hollywood production company decides to combine JAWS with THE EXORCIST? Why, "Jaws of Satan" of course, and presto, instant classic! Right?... Right?!... WRONG!!! Satan has returned, you see, and has taken the form of a large, unstoppable cobra. While traveling on a train somewhere in Alabama, the snake escapes, kills a few people and slithers into all sorts of mayhem. The locals are being terrorized and/ or killed by the giant menace. While scientists are trying to stop it, a local priest decides to battle Satan on his own terms. Many of the deaths could've been easily avoidable, if only the characters had looked. But, unfortunately, we've got a bunch of stupid people who inexplicably fall down and slide backwards in fear as the monster closes in for the kill. At one point, the snake even uses telepathy to cause a man to have a heart attack. It all boils down to a lackluster showdown inside a crappy-looking cave. And the laughable ending has to be seen to be believed. Note to all you snake wranglers (and yes, SPOILER ALERT!): If you simply must kill a giant snake, be sure it's a sunny day and bring along a reflective crucifix!
