A Deputy SHeriff with a PHD in Zoology? Are you kidding me? Are the writers at SF all teenagers? or younger? This movie was awful. Michael Shanks did a great job considering the dialogue he was given. But the best part was when the stoners got eaten.
What do you think was the worst line? or subplot?
I think that was my favorite part. Plus, I didn't think that was the correct pronunciation of "zoology." That's not how I ever heard it in school, anyway.
I thought the movie was purposely awful. I thought they knew well how ridiculous parts of the plot were, how cheesy much of the dialogue was, etc., and that's what they were going for.

I wish that your theory was true. But I think its a little naive. Even if it was an attempt at a campy movie, it failed miserably. Campy means humorous, and the humor just wasn't there. Also, I don't think Michael Shanks would have been part of a movie that bad on purpose. Either he was fooled or had some sort of contractual agreement.
You are correct about how they pronounced zoology. It was weird.
Another story twist that bugged the "everlivinfireoutame" was why bring in a superhero to this movie that saves a few kids and then runs off? There were so many parts of this movie that were just plain stupid. Except for the part where the stoners get eaten. I liked that a lot. But if they really wanted to be campy they should have made the snake get a real high after eating the stoners. I might have at least giggled at that.

Campy means humorous, and the humor just wasn't there.
Yeah, the Ph.D. in Zoology part took me by surprise... you'd think she would be off doing other things if she went through the hassel of the schooling rather than being a sheriff in a small town. A bachelor's degree in Zoology would be believable or even if she said she took Zoology courses in college, but saying she holds a Ph.D. in Zoology doesn't make much sense.
She pronounced it correct... she just used the least common pronunciation of Zoology. The most common is Zo-ology, not Zoo-ology (which she used).
This movie was pretty freaky, but there are just some things that don't add up at all. After Erin said that, she then walked into the forest after the family was attacked and found that snake skin. Seriously, why the hell would she do that? Didn't it cross her mind how risky that would be? Since she shouldn't have known she would have stumbled across the snake skin, what was she hoping to find out there, the snake itself? This part was just plain dumb.
POLICE STATION TOILET STOLEN... Cops have nothing to go on
Erin is not a Deputy Sheriff. She is a Park Ranger with a degree. The stoner scene was very funny.
shareAHHHHHHHH I didn't catch that between my naps during the movie. I guess I assumed she was a deputy sheriff. Good catch elliefromthehill. I suppose a park ranger with a PHD in Zoology is mildly believable, but incredibly improbable. Still humorous because I think if I was writing the script I would have found something a lot more believable, but I don't get paid tons of money to write garbage like the SF writers do. (Even if they made union minimum, it is way too much) Whoever wrote and directed this movie should be fired or drawn and quartered. I'll accept either.

The foot high letters on the side of the SUV she drove saying PARK RANGER should have been your first clue.
