The snake was the best actor.

Warning: Spoilers
This is not the worst film I have seen but it was close, the story, a woman is having an affair decides to go on a field trip with her husband Adam an entomologist to study a beetle in Suicide Gorge. You can understand her having an affair as I have garden tools with more charisma than her husband, when I was in my teens I wanted to be in a band so got a guitar, after a while I realised I was not that good, I wonder if the actors watch this and have the self awareness to realise they are not very good actors and the snake out acts both of them.

So they are both on the field trip and the makers realise this is tanking so they have her strip off to bra and panties and the camera man focuses his camera on her breasts for the remainder of the film. They get trapped in the tent by a black mamba after she slips out to read her text message from the bloke she is playing hide the sausage with, she must be pretty dim not deleting them,. So for what seems forever the snake slips, slides, rears up, at one point I went to the toilet and my wife asked if she should pause it, I said no, on coming back I asked if anything had happened, she said no, the snake has just moved about a bit more. So eventually it bites her after her husband starts to strangle her and she bites his thumb. Having left the anti toxin he throws the snake out, the snake is hacked and comes after him, they wrestle in the water and he kills it, which is a shame as I was thinking Serpent 2 minus the actors. He gets bit, both him nd his wife die. Some have suggested a biblical theme, Adam , snake forbidden fruit but that gives the impression of something interesting. The film is not scary, not interesting, lacks suspense, poorly acted bar the snake and is simply boring moving pictures.
