OK, I admit it. I'm bored. So I've decided to write up a page on reviews of herp-related movies. Please, if you have any titles to suggest, send them to me.
Don't be shy. Admit it: most of you like herp-related movies but hate to waste your time and money on the real stinkers.

What was the name of the 70s movie where they college student goes to work for a "herpetologist" who runs a lab and the kid gets turned into a snake. At the end of the movie, you see the kid in the cage with a snake body and his face. I thought it was called SSSSnake or something like that.

Roddy Piper goes to Frogtown and is the last human male that isn't sterile! That was stooooopid and funny!

I think that was "SSSSS" in the US and Heather Menzies was in it, she was cute back then. One of my favorites is "Stanley": 1972 epic about a young Seminole lad who used eastern diamondbacks to exact revenge on whoever slighted him. Of course karma catches up to him, in the form of an EDB attached to his face.

A funny movie about an old man who collects snakes. The town picks on him and he starts taking them out. 1 scene I remember he has a lady tied up suspended above two barrels. He tells her to pick a barrel, becasue one has a harmless milksnake and the other a coralsnake. Great cult classic.

Unfortunately, Snakes is not available for purchase or rental. I have, however, added the 50's classic Snake Woman to my queue.

You can't skip Anaconda II!
What could be better than a film about a South American snake that somehow ended up in the wilds of Borneo (plust the fact that the film was filmed, not in Borneo or South America, but in Fiji - we ran into the crew in a bar there).
It's like Anaconda, except the acting is worse, the snakes are less realistic, the story is stupider, and no J-Lo!
I had forgotten about Venom. That was actually not a bad pic except for the "one bite = immediate violent death" scenes. I liked the premise of the kid getting mamba instead of the housesnake.

Cold Creek Manor with Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone has a graybanded kingsnake in it. It's been a while since I've seen the movie but I'm pretty sure it's a light phase blairs...my favorite!!!
Actually, there are several snakes in this movie. Towards the end of the film the house (Cold Creek Manor) becomes infested with them. It's one of those movies I don't need to own or see again but checking out the different snakes might be interesting for the herper folks who haven't seen it yet.
