Chris Robinson, Alex Rocco, Steve Alaimo

Returning to a life of racial bigotry after two years of killing in Vietnam, Seminole Indian Tim, actor Chris Robinson, needs alot of help. The only love and affection he is now capable of expressing ...( read more  read more... )is to venomous snakes. Tim‘s fellow human beings respect his serpentine expertise; his affection for snakes is another story. Tim finds others hate, if not misunderstanding, Stanley and his snake friends. If his friends are killed or mistreated, Tim dishes out cruel punishment to the human transgressors. Snakes are his tool for revenge. Snakes, however, are fickle creatures and the final venomous showdown takes place deep within the swamp between the two friends.

    It was nice premise... for a B movie anyway. A disgruntled Indian, who is also a vietnam vet, losing himself in the woods and making pets out of rattlers and other snakes and siccing them on their mutual enemies like poachers and the like. But unfortuntly they try to go to far ...( read more)with this film and it ends up being an drawned out bore for the most part by having all kind of side plots that never really led to anywhere.

    However some of the death scenes were interesting and they did not go for a lot of crap effects just crap camera work which I think is an improvement over the cgi cartoony snakes in killer snake films of today. Especially liked the scenes with the quicksand, our Indian vet vs a poacher with his snake friend Stanley of course, and the finale was not bad just not a very good set up for it, just seemed off. For the budget this film could have been a lot worse, though it did have some of the worse opening music ever, dont know what they was thinking with that. But again the film is crap, though then again crap has an appeal, and hell I enjoyed it more then I would most Hollywood big budget movies of today.

    I wish I was Stanley. Or... Tim I guess... since Stanley is a snake.
