Reviews

[Peter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting tale about four hikers meeting terrible big size snake in their favorite area. Over mining probably set them free, so the opinion goes. Can our friends and the town survive the attack? Good old fashioned monster horror (reminded me on 50s horror flics) with a shot of environmental protection inside. Recommended when you're afraid monster snakes!
