Jonathan Hyde plays an Englishman in a role that borders on the offensively stereotypical - if we British aren't depicted as bad guys, then must we all have stupid accents and be figures of ridicule with our silly 'stiff upper lip' type characters? Bad acting awards go to Jon Voight for his supremely hammy portrayal of the film's villain, a lip-curling, eye-winking performance which I found to be hilarious - he's great, having a laugh, and miles away from the boringly serious characters he played in films like Deliverance.

Ice Cube is the likable, gruff and unlikely hero, a feat he pulled off again in '99s THREE KINGS. Joining her are Eric Stoltz in a nothing role, and he spends most of the film in a coma after eating a deadly wasp (strangely, though, he doesn't die!). Jennifer Lopez takes the lead and frankly I can't see what all the fuss is about, to me she's unattractive and a bad actress to boot. The acting is pretty bad, but again that's typical for a film of this variety - what's not typical is that most of the actors here are famous, or have become famous since. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, his corpse winks! The plot is a typically contrived and generic one, but as I mentioned it's fast paced so you don't have time to dwell on the holes. In the film's big moment, Jon Voight is eaten, only to be regurgitated as a half-eaten mess moments later. We watch the victims as they get slowly crushed and their bones break out, and then watch as their blubbery bodies are digested by the snake. While it's not a particularly bloody film, many of the deaths by snake are gooey and gruesome in the extreme.

On retrospect, I enjoyed this far more than the disappointing and hugely generic film that was THE RELIC, and after watching many of the recent so-called 'horror' films on release, I've come to appreciate this for what it is : a fun, shallow and fast-paced little film that delivers the goods on the gore front. While it may be a cheesy film with bad acting and poor special effects, the makers of this film obviously have an affection for B movies and, as one reviewer on the IMDb noted, there is definitely an old-fashioned feel to it, it's a bit like a '50s giant monster movie updated to the present day. After catching it on television again last night, my opinion has radically changed. I happened to see this at the cinema back in '97 and I remember being distinctly underwhelmed by the film.

This underrated monster movie came out around the same time as THE RELIC and both films got poor reviews.
