This straight-up slasher flick probably should have gone straight to video for the cheesy-looking, computer-generated snakes alone.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A mud-simple horror trudge set in a swamp colony of Abercrombie models.
Even by the standards of the current Miramax fire sale, this misbegotten horror film deserved to go direct to video. Or cable. Or oblivion.
Basically just a moss-strewn remake of his 1997 hit, I Know What You Did Last Summer.
As mindless scare machines go, Dimension Films' bayou-set slasher thriller acquits itself well enough. Gratuitously gory and derivative to the core, Venom manages to deliver some effective frights in between large swaths of voodoo gibberish.
