Review of Dead Sea

Dead Sea (2014)
7/10
not at all what I expected but worth at least a rental
27 May 2014
I picked this up (Family Video) because of the box, thinking it would be a Sharknado or Sharktapus and instead got a long episode of Breaking Bad with a snake monster and its babies. You don't see them too much. The story is more about a town of unsavory drug dealers and other lowlife. The story is about a Marine Biologist with a drinking problem who is sent to investigate dying fish in a lake but it turns out its the same town she grew up in and left when she was a teenager, without a word to her dad. The truth of the matter is she's just in time to be offered up to a snake-creature that shows up every thirty years to get a sacrifice so everything can be gravy.

The movie has almost nothing to do with the monster on the box. You don't even see the mother and her babies very often. The movie is more about the drug dealers in the town and there's a lot of chasing and guns, not a lot of snakenado. I liked the action but just wish it had more of what the DVD cover had. This happens a lot lately with these kinds of movies, the DVD cover doesn't have anything to do with what you get.
