Medusa's Venom

There are A category movies and then there are B. Some are so that count from A to Z then again start counting and when you reach again at "Z" this is the level of what ever this is they are calling a movie.

Don't know why there are such things, is it some kind of school projects or something.

It is superbly bad, there is nothing, just some left over porn movie sets and costumes and there is nothing relating in the movie with the title.

There should be some other category for this kind in order to warn people of not even wasting their life seconds.

Rest dont fall for the trap and this movie should be removed.

Arriving at a secluded campsite, a woman integrates herself with a group of women living in the area who are renown for their sexual favors, and when she realizes that the entire group is controlled by a half-serpent/half-human leader trying to keep them in line must decide whether to join or fight back.

This was a decent enough if somewhat flawed follow-up to the original. One of the better features here is the rather fun setup that provides a rather strong connection between the group who are portrayed as a true bonded sisterhood. As the main setup is centered around the newcomer arriving at the camp and trying to integrate herself into their ranks and the difficulty that emerges doing that since they're all so close to each other makes this stick out even more for a rather solid starting point. With the opening piece here involving the agreement to stay there and having to deal with the rules and regulations everyone has there that makes it a bit of a struggle to get going, this is a wholly fun time here that goes nicely alongside the other secondary storyline where her burgeoning relationship with the straggler looking for his friend that needs to be kept a secret allows for a decent enough starting point. With the setup established, this is all enhanced with the series of encounters where the snake-like powers are brought to the forefront. With the opening attack on the couple of frat guys who are being unnecessarily aggressive to them which provides hints of what they're capable of with the graphic brutality dished out, the idea of what they do to those who break the confines of the setup makes the later scenes rather fun with the idea of the metamorphosis taking place following the transformation ritual and resulting hallucinations. As this goes along with the body-horror aspects of the change and what it represents to her and the rest of the group, there's a great setup at play in the finale where the focus of the ritual is a far darker and more gruesome outcome than expected as it turns into a far different type of effort than expected involving the full changeover and the outcome that comes from that. These factors all make for a lot to like although there are some factors to be had here that bring this down. The main drawback to the film is a somewhat sluggish pace that prioritizes interpersonal drama rather than overly grandiose genre scares. Focusing far more on her trying to not upset the dynamic between everyone while she tries to get acclimated to how it works and the rules in place for everyone, this leaves the film feeling far more like a drama about what goes on in a prostitution ring that operates in the middle of the woods for privacy than a genuine genre effort. This leads to a lot of time spent with the others warning her about stepping out of line and trying to pull her weight which doesn't leave much for the other genre fare to get featured. Even when it does, this is the other issue here as those few scenes don't have any overt genre attributes as the gore doesn't stand out and the lack of nudity for a film about women in this line of work is a bit distressing, making for an odd time here and the film's few detriments.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic language, Violence, and a clothed sex scene.

It's all the other movie reviews combined.

But be warned.

We watch bad movies for fun, just to see how bad they are. We watch them through to the end for full LOL.

We turned this off after 20 minutes.

It was dire, boring, no plot, and, actually, all the actresses looked the same. They must have been about 15 because none of them had breasts. I kind of thought breasts were required in prostitution. But all of them were little flat clones with long hair and nearly the same face.

The only redeeming factor was that the caravans were awesomely kitted out. And they were!

Seriously, my guess is that some of the gypsy/traveller girls in the Uk decided it might be great fun to make a movie.

If that were the case, I would have rated it much higher for being an independent and gallant effort of creativity by amateurs who had some gumption to try something.

But otherwise? Absolutely dire.

For a film about a cult of sex workers who prey on aggressively dominant men...it's pretty damn tame.

The crux of the plot revolves around a woman who has come to the group, in search of sanctuary.

Only to find out she is a pledge, required to prove her value and loyalty, in order to become the newest recruit in this cult made up of Medusas.

A form of ancient beast, who not only enact divine judgement...but must feed on their victims, in order to survive.

They aren't the snake haired, stone turning, Medusas of Greek mythology, however.

Rather...a bunch of women with snakelike qualities...including the ability to attack their victims with a venom like substance.

Unfortunately, the majority of the film is made up of drama between the women...and the lead up to the initiation of their new recruit.

With a sideplot about her relationship with a past victim, who was let go, but has retained memories pertaining to the disappearance of his friend (whom they killed).

Meaning that it's relatively light on the horror.

And tame in the sex department.

With too much of a focus on the soap opera drama.

And practically no gore at all.

Leaving you feeling pretty underwhelmed in the end.

1.5 out of 10.
