- Solid horror
This movie wasn't the greatest horror movie, but given the budget, I enjoyed it. The story is pretty cool, gets quite cheesy at times, but what horror movie doesn't. The voodoo idea was done in a way that was creepy and believable, but not overly Hollywood glamorized idea of Voodoo. I'd recommend this movie to someone who wants a good way to spend a Friday night.

- 0 STARS: Rubbish!!
Unfortunately, I caught this on encore the other night, and being that it is supposed to be a horror movie, I decided to watch it. Succinctly, "Venom" represents a lame attempt to spice up a slasher-type movie with an element of the oh-so-deadly voodoo stuff!! I'm just shaking in my boots after having seen it!!

The voodoo element does not work at all, and, basically, what you have in "Venom" is nothing you haven't already seen before except for the exciting element of voodoo which ... Read More

- All Bite And No Real Venom
With the Louisiana swamps as backdrop, voodoo as a catalyst, and young starlets heading up the cast, you'd think that "Venom" might just be able to be a decent R-rated slasher/hacker flick. Instead of that, we get another formulaic PG-13 teen slasher flick with a little more gore and a lot more rough language (hence the "R" rating). Poor Ray Sawyer was just trying to save an old lady's life when he got snakebit. Unfortunately for him, though, the venom in the snake's bite was a little bit more than ... Read More

- Dimension Film Horror from the Director of "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
For making of Dimension Film's "Venom," Kevin Williamson (as producer) joins forces again with director Jim Gillespie who had once helmed "I Know What You Did Last Summer" based on Williamson's script. As you know, in this 1997 hit horror film, a group of teenagers are stalked and killed by a mysterious guy with a hook, who is supposed to be dead.

In "Venom," a pack of teenagers including Eden (Agnes Bruckner) and her ex-boyfriend Eric (Jonathan Jackson) must run away from the zombie-like ... Read More

- A Gory Slasher Flick
Ray Sawyer (Rick Cramer), Agnes Bruckner (Eden), Laura Ramsey (Rachel), Jonathan Jackson (Eric), and D.J. Cotrana (Sean) star in this scary and bloody slasher movie.

Eric and Eden are going through any typical teen romance; going steady one minute, broken up the next. Eden works at a local truck stop as a waitress. One evening, Ray pulls into the truck stop to get some food. Known as the local nut case, Ray has few friends and owns a filling station on the edge of town. Later that same evening, ... Read More
