The tyranist's thoughts
I was looking forward to this movie because it features Jill Schoelen (yes, I am aware that I am the only person who would look forward to a movie because of her) but in the end, I may have to side with Rish's longstanding loathing of Jill Schoelen movies. This scare-an-hour borefest just doesn't have the energy to keep me anything close to interested.
So there are two young people driving across Texas or New Mexico or somewhere for no apparent reason. They happen to take a radioactive snake on board and it eventually bites the young man. To make a long, boring story short, he mutates and starts to kill people. Eventually.
From the beginning it was patently obvious that there wasn't much of a script behind this one. In fact, they often had to use incidendtal music to hint to the audience that it was time to be scared. Not until the very end of the movie is there anything resembling a good scare.
I saw this movie for Jill Schoelen and I really didn't need to. Her role is pretty flat and not really worth the time spent on the movie. There are even a couple of spots where she's pretty bad. Jamie Farr was pretty dull as well, but what do you expect him to do with such a poorly written part?
Aside from the massive plot holes and general lack of information, there isn't much to this movie. If you are determined to see all of the Curse movies, God bless you for trying. Otherwise, I'd skip it.
