What makes this movie stand out is the cast. Oliver Reed, Sterling Hayden, Susan George, Nicol Williamson, Michael Gough, Klaus Kinski and Sarah Miles. That is a lot of talent for a dumb horror movie like this. It isn't terrible or anything and I can understand why Siskel had fun watching it, but it is really just a waste of talent.
Ah, I had some fun with it. It's nothing special, and it's really more of a hostage thriller than a killer snake movie- as it was advertised. But as you mentioned, it's a great cast, and they all do a fine job- Williamson and Kinski in particular. And my god- Oliver Reed, Klaus Kinski, Nicol Williamson, and Sterling Hayden all on the same set. Can you imagine the violence and drunken carousing that must've devolved into?! Oh, to be a fly on that wall...
