Storyline
Mutant snakes survived a terrorist attack on a government laboratory, and they now threaten the town of Santa Mira Springs, California. Seismic activity has brought snakes to the surface, where residents are being bitten. Victims can transmit the virus to healthy persons. The military puts the town under quarantine. Local physicians try to control the epidemic, while the military is primarily concerned with keeping the virus a secret. Written by wkmiller704@yahoo.com

Trivia
Major Manchek in "Venomous" must be related to the general of the same name from "The Andromeda Strain" (1972), another virus thriller. Both movies also refer to "Directive 712", described in "Andromeda Strain" as the use of a nuclear detonation to prevent the spread of a virus. See more »Goofs

I like Treat Williams, I think he's always been a very underrated actor relegated to a b-movie career. Alas this film is a prime example.
All about an outbreak of a virus spread by rattlesnakes and a crack medical team trying to contain it.
But you know the drill, they aren't just up against the snakes no no they also battle the evil government who want to handle the situation differently which would result in a larger loss of life.
Predictable stuff, you'll have seen it done before and better but it has its moments.
For crying out loud though do pets have to die in every single film? This one is particularly merciless in that regard.
The Good:
Treat Williams
The Bad:
Opening scene was unnecessarily sad
Not pet friendly....
