    Worst Movie/Story of the century

    Well, Well, Well i cant believe a snake is so stubborn which can stay in a tent with a hot couple for almost a day without doing anything but dancing around, cant digest the concept of this movie,not scary, not adventurous or even romantic

    Snake thriller.

    Couple with secrets to hide trapped in tent with deadly snake in remote location. Very basic thriller with decent acting and some good moments. Let down by a clunky script and overall a bit underwhelming. Watchable but not enough really happening here.

    Well acted in all its minimalist glory.

    If you are expecting or are after a cheap and flat snake horror where everyone dies in a venom induced fright fest, then pick something else.

    This movie takes a simple concept and deliberate minimalist set up and manages to provide a psychological thriller with plenty of depth and multi layered scare moments.

    5 minutes of research into Black Mambas will confirm the high possibility of death and very realistic threat of this awesome and fascinating apex predator. Apparently the actors even worked with LIVE snakes on this!

    You don't need to suffer from Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) to jump out of your skin with the suspense the ominous presence creates. The underlying story of husband, wife betrayal will go under your skin even more. Well acted in all its minimalist glory. The final scene was gut wrenching and the act of forgiveness and ultimate sacrifice stayed with me on a deep emotional level.

    Agree with this critic: "Serpent isn't an action horror film, but a slow-cooked meditation on a relationship and the death dealing poison of deceit. Serpent is a well-crafted, intimate thriller that will coil around you and never let you loose until the final, death-dealing bite."

    Awful

    Not much else to say, it's so so bad. I literally fell asleep.

    It could be better!

    I personally kind of liked it, because I'm scared to death when I see snakes!! So this movie is a thriller for people like me who fear snakes... but even though I got scared it's not a movie that I would recommend for somebody to watch cause I feel it was kind of flat!
