      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      A voodoo horror flick without the mojo, Venom is chock full of gory impalings of interchangeable teenage girls and hunky guys by an unstoppable zombie whose unimaginative rampage quickly lulls us to sleep.

      steve d Incompetent and scare free. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member no es una mala pelicula, siendo sinceros no esta nada mal, tiene una historia original y de mucho misterio Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Sh*tty teen slasher flick that has some voodoo elements thrown in, a scary looking redneck tow truck driver is killed by a bunch of crappy CGI snakes and comes back to life as a homicidal maniac then goes after a group of teens hold up in a magically warded house, the heroine is this boring blonde chick named Eden (Agnes Bruckner) who wears tight clothes, rides a bike and has a dead dad, there's not much to the ending, the final girl mows the monster down with his truck, gets out and runs off into the woods then two snakes slither out of his body, one of them attacks the camera and that's it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review bill t Predictable yarn from our friends at Dimension, the makers of the Scream franchise, about a undead killer killing off a group of teens in the bayous of Louisiana. Setting aside, it's not at all original, and the most hilarious aspect of this is that all of the actors here sound more L.A. then LA. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Gory, fun, and creative. To mention the positives. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are a marvel fan you will like this movie. 11% really? great fun watching this one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Christy Lemire Associated Press This straight-up slasher flick probably should have gone straight to video for the cheesy-looking, computer-generated snakes alone. Mar 7, 2007 Full Review Time Out The slasher clichés on reshuffle are old enough to predate the births of most of the flick's nubile victims-to-be, including tight-T-shirt wearer Agnes Bruckner. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Never strays from the mainstream slasher genre's long-decayed bylaws. Rated: C- Mar 19, 2006 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting The objective critiques were not unwarranted; the script has shortcomings, and the characters are underdeveloped. The silver lining, however, is Venom is a well-directed stab of teen horror punctuated with pushy violence and the highest urgency. Rated: 3/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies Whereas Skeleton Key was a pleasant surprise, though, there's little pleasant about this amazingly bland horror entry. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A standard-issue popcorn horror pic. Rated: C+ Mar 18, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
