Right, well with a movie named "Vipers", you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. And whether or not having Tara Reid on the cast list is a positive or negative thing, well that is a thing that is up to individual determination.
I decided to watch "Vipers" because I like creature features and also because it is part of the "Maneater" movie series. However, I can't claim to have much of an interest in the acting ability of Tara Reid, for better or worse.
I must admit that "Vipers" actually was a fairly adequate movie taking into consideration that there are so many, many other movies with snake themes that are far more horrible and less entertaining than the 2008 "Vipers" turned out to be.
Sure, this movie was campy and cheesy, but that is part of the genre and also a part of what makes the movie enjoyable and fun to watch.
Now, the movie has Tara Reid on the cast list, and that might be some aversion to some viewers, but it should be said that she actually fared quite well in "Vipers", taking into consideration the concept of the movie and the limitations of the script and storyline from writer Brian Katkin and director Bill Corcoran.
The special effects in the movie were for the most part actually quite good, and the snakes - again for the most part - looked realistic enough and passed as being believable. However, the fact that the snakes could growl and scream was just hilarious and it made the movie all the more cheesy and laughable.
All in all, "Vipers" delivers what you would expect from it, but actually managed to stay afloat and not become as horrible as many other snake movies did. Was it a masterpiece? Hardly so. Nor is it the type of movie that you will watch more than once.
