Vipers

Anytime you have movie researchers who genetically modify anything, it always goes awry.  Can we all agree on that?  Sure you might be able to help millions with cancer, but if the cost is a few dozen people being eaten by genetically mutated vipers, is it really worth it?  Really?

 

At the Universal Bio Tech Research Facility, they are using venom from the horned viper to help reduce cancer.  To increase the venom production, they have genetically altered the vipers.  It worked, but there is a crazy side effect.  The appetite has increased, they have become to powerful to keep in a normal cage, and they have begun to hunt in packs.  And because they are digital, they no longer unhinge their jaw to swallow their prey, they now bite and chew like piranha.

 

The research facility is on the island of Eden Cove.  Apparently Eden Cove is so small (How small is it?), ... it's so small that ... let's just say that it is a small island.  Tara Reid runs a very questionable greenhouse on the island.  We find out that she grows marijuana for terminally ill patients there.

 

Let's cut to the chase.  People on the island are overrun by the vipers, Universal Bio Tech arrives to do what they can, many people are attacked by digital snakes, and they destroy most of the snakes.  I say most, because they leave one for the evil Corbin Bernsen who runs Universal Bio Tech.

 

The best attack scene is in a tent near the water where these newlyweds are attacked and have buckets of blood thrown on them.  It might be the silliest thing that I have ever witnessed.  It happens in the first ten minutes of the movie.  Watch that and then turn the movie off.  Unless you want to watch Tara Reid over act.  Then watch the rest.

 

I give this movie 0 out of 5 horned vipers.
