From what I've read about this since it's release, it's pretty much a version of "AvP," and that the production group tends to leech off of the blockbuster counterparts and do a similar story on a cheaper budget. Ex. they have just completed their take on "I am Legend" or "The Omega Man" That said, the reviews about Katt and DeeDee Peiffer have been high and in some cases their performances are touted as the best thing about the movie. Sounds like it's more of a B-scifi/horror movie, but it should be fun to watch (i.e. "Snake Island.") William was the best thing about the movie. the plot was what you expected from the movie but there were some sp fx and such that took a bit away from the creditability of the movie. (ie snakes dancing to music. it wasn't as much as that they were dancing as much of te fact that they were doing it to the beat of the music that tookaway from the illusion.) I have heard not great things about the movie but I'm gonna watch it as I will be buried in this weekend.

One of the characters in the AVH is named Marci. My heart jumped in my throat when I heard him say my name. boy, I hope she survives.

SPOILERS I am so sorry, but this movie is bad. I'm laughing. It' like Blair Witch with aliens. The acting was questionable. WK does his best with the script he was given. Everyone is too calm. Marci died to quick. but to hear WK shout my name as she was scooped up made it worth it. I just didn't feel a connection with the characters. This has to be a parody.

Ya know WK has a lot of nerve not telling me about the Marci character in the movie.

That's what the group's known for - parodies. Have to admit it's neat to see that your namesake gets scooped up by WK's character (BTW, like swept off her feet in a carry or something?) I was bummed that both "Perry Mason" movies that had my first and (at least pronounced the same) last name Drake didn't say them. Would've been funny, as the first name was a girl he'd been chasing in the movie - last name the dead person. And, as far as not saying Marci was in the movie and died - maybe that's why he said "There are some movies I wish I didn't do."

Grabbed and scooped up into the trees. dead Meat. She could not act at all. The thing was it wasn't like Epic Movie or Spaceballs type parody. It was like you were supposed to take it serious. It was just bad. I was laughing because it was bad not funny.

Yeah... that's bad. I wish they'd also be a bit more original in general with capturing their victims from trees. Leave that to weird parasitic trees like they do in "Doctor Who" books. (but I do like "Imperial Moon." - the book I'm talking about.)

I didn't even get the ending. It didn't make sense.

Then again, "Snake Island" fits there well because we don't know why Katt's character survives in spite of getting bit by two small vipers (which are actually more poisonous than their full grown counterparts), and manages to rescue the other two survivors. This goes double when the snakes do not stop biting the other victims (the ones who died) until they were dead (or case of the one girl - running around nude in a clear shower curtain into the fields - then kill her. )

So you are going to intentionally watch a movie that you have been talking about for a while as something that is not very good? I wonder if you will want your hour and a half back.

But, in the case of "Snake Island," it's so bad it's funny, kinda like "AvH" according to Marci. Besides, sometimes you have to have times you take a mental vacation with drivel. Makes you appreciate life more.

Mel would be a proper contradiction too - my Dad also calls me Fred. You are right it is a contraction as well. At least it's not a paladrome, which could really be confusing.

Ms. B, I take it you are agreeing with Mel here. You didn't post anything. I was having trouble b4. I was going to say that Snake Island had good plot execution and the characters had depth. cheezy snake effects but at least you knew where you were re: the movie. I rate Snake Island better than AVH

Well, I am still waiting for her to realize that her name is not Ms. B since my previous post makes it VERY obvious I was addressing Ms. B and not the contradiction contraction of MelMac.
