This B-Horror film delivers reasonable quality with a limited budget.
The special effects look somewhat dated, especially with regard to the snake, but it does not disturb all that much. The acting is good and the story is almost credible.
Is this a really good movie? Yes and no. The film is a lot better than what the IMDB figure suggests. Yet this is certainly not a top film, not even for a B-movie. Except for a single scare moment, I never found the film terrifying. Exciting? A little. Especially because a lot of characters are portrayed in a interesting way. I think the actors have done their best to make their superficial characters appear human.
The biggest mistake apart from the weak special effects? A rattling plot. The list of improbabilities and illogical choices by the characters is large, up to and including a protagonist who finds time for an outfit change in the middle of the pursuit by the snake. The film has its own logic and much is no more than an excuse to be able to film certain scenes.
It is best not to ask too many questions here and just enjoy the movie. My favorite scene was with the real estate businessman!
A tight 7/10 because of the fun!
