Venom
Directed by Piers Haggard
Three kidnappers find out crime really doesn’t pay when their young victim accidentally becomes owner of a furious Black Mamba, the deadliest snake on Earth! Now the clueless criminals (Euro-cult cinema legends Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed and Susan George) are trapped in a house surrounded by police, while on the inside, the slithering serpent is plotting where to sink its poisonous fangs. VENOM was intended to be Tobe Hooper’s follow-up to EATEN ALIVE. But when he was suddenly fired, Piers Haggard (BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW) stepped in to see the scary story through.
Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed and Susan George face off against a vicious snake in this cult favorite.
Cast: Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed, Nicol Williamson, Susan George

ooooh. it was so scary. ai dios mio
It isn't that hard to kill a snake in general.
Klaus Kinski and Oliver Reed (two of my favourite actors) are best in very dramatic scenes. And you’ll get that in venom. Enjoyed it again. Love horror movies with animals. Reminded me of the Frogs movie that was playing constantly on TV when I was little. Not a bad movie (Frogs) by the way.
Worth checking out if you're a Kinski and/or Reed fan. I was entertained.
I’m adding a fourth skull for the nostalgia this one had for me. Saw it in a nearly empty cinema,on a weekday morning. Good use of the snake, I guess Susan George needed a paycheck. Stacked cast, solid tech all around. Poor Oliver Reed- what a way to go !Fun snake flick.
