Lacking the tongue-in-cheek nature of Snakes on a Plane and taking itself more seriously than most Holocaust-based films, Silent Venom is filled with wooden performances, cheap production design and yawn-inducing action, with Mark Sanderson's laughably illogical screenplay as the least of this movie's problems. Then again, if 6-8 snakes lying together on a set floor, doing absolutely nothing other than just sit there, is your idea of an unbelievably frightening movie, then you'll have a ball with this.

Wow! Das Boot meets SNAKE ISLAND, sa Lukom Perijem i Kristom Alen u glavnim ulogama i svim tim kormilari niko drugi do FRED OLEN REJ - pa to je recept za remek-djelo!
Luk Peri je oduvijek bio moj heroj, covjek je ne jednom spasio svijet od unistenja, a evo sad je uspio kao kapetan podmornice da spasi istu ne samo od napadnih Kineza, vec i od izuzetno otrovnih zmijurina koje su se tu nasle. Zavrsni obracun protiv ogromne zmijurine je nesto sto je nemoguce opisati rijecima, to zaista, bez ikakvog pretjerivanja, morate da vidite da biste povjerovali.
Mali nedostatak ovog filma je odredjena dramaturska traljavost - naime, kad imate zmije u filmu, logicno je da se tu negdje nalazi i ogromna dzinovska petsto metara duga i deset metara siroka Vrhunska Zmijurina. Ovaj film postuje tu konvenciju, ali pomenuta Queen Snake se pojavljuje vec na pocetku filma i to u samo jednoj vrlo kratkoj sceni. Zbog toga je kraj, u kome se Luk Peri obracunava sa zmijom koja je samo deset metara duga, pomalo antiklimaktican. Otherwise, ovo je odlican film, kao stvoren za double shot sa SNAKE ISLAND.

Silent Venom offers everything that's expected from a film of this type. Basically a Snakes on a Train rip off but instead of the train we have snakes loose on a US military submarine. Cheesy effects, wooden acting, ridiculous plot and plot holes galore all add up to a fun B-Movie that's above average for a Sci-Fi channel offering.
A couple of scientists who are conducting experiments on snakes on an island off China, need to be rescued by a submarine crew after the Chinese begin to perform military maneuvers in the area. Of course they bring their biologically altered snakes onto the submarine with them and after one of the crew members becomes too curious for his own good and releases the snakes, all havoc breaks loose on board as the snakes take a fancy to the crew members.
Kudos must go to the director for insisting to use real snakes in most of the scenes. With a budget this low CGI snakes are always going to look terrible and the few scenes CGI snakes are in look, well, terrible. The only downside to real snakes is that the action suffers greatly as the same shots tend to be used over and over and the kill scenes suffer from a lack of dramatic effect. The sub-plot involving the Chinese submarines is awful, mainly because of how easily the US sub wins the battle of wills. Characters become bitten despite there not being a snake in site, the ending is hilariously bad and the roaring snakes are cheesy as hell. But we all know that these mistakes are what makes a good B-Movie and for the most part Silent Venom is interesting, fast paced, has the occasional decent bit of action and provides plenty of silly entertainment. Worth a look if you like cheesy B-Movies.
