Viewing Notes

Oops! I’ve seen this before!!! So bizarre because when I watched it nothing really looked familiar. Guess I won’t count it towards my 31 Days challenge.

Movie 5 - my kind of 70s dopey killer animal flick. I probably saw this back in the day too but wouldn’t recall as many of these blur together. SSSSSSS is really the only major snake movie I recall but other films like Day of the Animals are memorable. Basically all the rattlesnakes in the Mojave desert are infesting all the nearby homes and killing people. Turns out it was because of a nerve gas contamination by the military. I’m sure this story has been redone by The Asylum or SyFy in recent years but all the snakes are CG.
