Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the devil cobra attacks and kills the man on the train, the glass that separates the snake from the man is visible. You can even see the mans reflection in it. And when the snake "bites" the man, you hear the snake thump the glass with its head.

Another sadly underrated film

This film has some very good aspects to it:

1: A simple, yet well-done story that is interesting and a good script. (I loved the beginning of the films' excerpt from the bible)

2: Great filming locations (Alabama)

3: A vet. actor! (Fritz Weaver)

When I first saw this film, I was a little confused since I only saw the ending. I eventually found it on DVD and watched the whole thing through. I thought it was great and I added Fritz Weaver to my list of my fav actors. I then found out that A lot of people hated it. What the heck is up with that? Oh well. Anyway, I love this film and I wish the producers would make a sequel. My rating: 4/4 stars
