Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Nut-case electronics wizard Gregg Henry has decided that if he can't have his ex, then no one can, so he discreetly slips a hormonally altered black mamba into a planter in her loft & locks her in. Her loft, however, is approximately the size of a shopping mall and she manages to (for a while) evade the mamba with almost cartoon-like ease. However, she does manage to capture one of these cartoon-like moments on tape while she was taping herself, and realizes that she's not alone. The mall-size loft allows for plenty of running around and screaming, despite the fact that none of that seems to help. Oh, and her cat, who she stopped from getting into her groceries & refused to allow inside, pops up in the skylight & she pleads to the cat to help her? The next shot of the cat is its behind, which is exactly what I'd have done if treated like that, myself. This isn't entirely unwatchable but it's so far-fetched that you'll find yourself chuckling or shaking your head at parts. There's even a twist ending, if you make it that far. I'm not sure I've ever found a horror movie about snakes that was actually good. 3 out of 10.
