Most Realistic Portrayal of a Killer Snake Film?


This film is largely unknown to many and since the Comic Book "Venom" silliness it gets overlooked. What it is though is one of the most realistic portrayal of a Killer Snake film set in the environment of basically a Desperate Hours film scenario after a home invasion. Cast is all top notch and has the one and only Klaus Kinski which is one of the craziest actors in the history of cinema. He is however an incredible actor. Also a VERY SICK man and completely unpredictable and deranged in real life IMO.

The Film is great though and worth a watch and revisit. Its rarely talked about now and one of a kind. Very tense and paranoia filled. The snake in the film is a Black Mamba which are extremely aggressive in reality and its depiction is pretty accurate for the film.
