Watched Snakes on a Plane years ago on DVD & thought it was a pretty good film! The action was on point, the effects were great, the story was simple & straight forward! Overall a great film, however I came across this & bought it second hand on DVD. But didn't get around to watching til now...
The film follows this cultist couple who board a train full of passengers heading to LA. The journey is 16 hours long so they're in for a long haul. But when snakes start to leak out & circulate the train, things start awry fast!
I found the film to be pretty bland & uninteresting. It lacked the colourful, upbeat & insane nature found in its counterpart. The story dragged & the bodycount was weak, even the deaths themselves weren't great & bad executed. The camera work didn't help, it made it harder for you to see how the victims were dying when the camera was flying around erractically.
The chracters were paper thin & boring. Well, a few were alright to be fair, but the rest were just cliches null & void.
The effects weren't bad at all but drastrically took a turn at the end, which really took the pi$$. The film itself while a pi$$ take (pfft, obviously, made by that knuckle head film company Asylum Films) ditched the grounded realism for a zombie, dark magic, sci-fi take on the story similar to its counterpart, Snakes on a Plane. Which to be honest made the film harder to take seriously.
Overall, this campy pi$$ take film was even more pi$$ taking in itself than it needed to be. It could've been better had they lighten the film up, done better camera work, had better chracters, had a better body count & of course kept to a more grounded level when approaching the story. 2/10
