A Snake Revenge Extravaganza!...
14 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
If you don't like CALAMITY OF SNAKES, you're either a direct relative of a snake, or some super-PETA-cry-baby. This one has it all! More snakes than you can shake a f!ckin' snake at - and then even MORE snakes. My copy has no subs/dubs - f!ck it, you don't really need 'em.

A construction crew comes upon a lair of snakes and tries to get rid of 'em. Even though their efforts are strong - they can't kill 'em all, and the snakes come back to wreak havoc on humanity...

And I thought KILLER SNAKES was cool...CALAMITY OF SNAKES has it beat. Snakes versus construction workers and machinery, snakes versus mongooses (mongeese? - or some other rodent-like creature), snakes versus a kung-fu expert (in a scene that must be seen to truly appreciate...), snakes versus an old lady in a wheel-chair, snakes versus disco-dancers...forget it - this one is completely insane. no one is safe from the plethora of snakey-destruction. Snakes get mauled, hacked, gutted, stomped, crushed, etc...with reckless abandon in the way that only the Hong Kong-ese could ever fabricate. And this ain't a bunch of cheezy cut-scenes, folks - this is true ridiculous snake massacre-osity. If you hate snakes - this is the one for you. If you like completely crazy animal-horror exploit films - this is the one for you. If you have pet snakes and have "feelings" for them - watch it anyway and then STOMP YOUR SNAKE INTO THE DIRT. An absolute classic of an under-appreciated genre - the only downside was a few "talky" parts that I didn't understand...8.5/10
