Well, it has Wayne Crawford and he is always remarkably watchable, being one of those actors that never really made it big, has a body of work that is mostly low budget fair, but still seems to entertain even in the worst of films.

However, it takes place in Africa and that is curious because there is a real Snake Island off the coast of Brazil and it's little details like that which really annoy me when I sit down to watch a movie.

Was Brazil not an exotic enough location to add the realism of setting it in Ilha da Queimada Grande? Or was it that pit vipers simply didn't have the star power behind them so they chose to relocate the entire thing across the Atlantic?

Despite that, it's not Anaconda, they use real snakes and that is a plus to me. Something ridiculously huge is more comical than anything, but the real snake plays to my near pathological ophidiophobia fairly well...making the movie, at least for me and the chaotic camera work certainly adds to the energetic feel I experience when encountering a snake in real life.

So, to say the least, I found it extremely unsettling to watch, despite people yelling "Is it poisonous" when it is clearly a cobra.
