Review :
Found Snake Island fun and scary at the same time.
Real snakes for a change, and lots of them. I found this much more "grounded", thus realistic, thus more frightening, than the giant CGI snakes that have been running (sometimes floating) around in many of the recent snake movies. The idea of being stuck on an island with thousands of poisonous snakes makes my skin crawl. Thought the acting was pretty believable so I was able to identify with the awful situation these characters find themselves in. Also enjoyed the humor which was included to give us a break sometimes: like the snakes joining in the party festivities and the phallic joke on the honeymooners. I liked the fact too, there was a bit of nudity included-so many of the recent horror films have become sanitized like they want a PG rating or are afraid of offending some people. As opposed to some people who would like to see all the snakes lured into a cave (or underground sewer sysytem) and blown up, like I have seen a million times before (zzzzz),I thought it was really cool to see the p***ed-off reptiles kick butt and run the unwanted homo-sapiens off their island--much more fresh and original than the tired old "set the place on fire, or lure the creature(s) to a trap" endings. I would recommend this film for "smart" horror film watchers who still want some of the better basics of the older horror films, yet with a touch of the newer sensibilities.
