Featured reviews
On Manku Island The east of the China Sea. A hybrid snake strain was created supposedly by a covert Chinese bomb nuclear test. As with all hybrid snake strains, they eventually get loose.
Before the credits are over Kimo Keoke gets eaten by a big mother in one gulp. Eventually, there can be an electrifying climax.
In any event, the story might be lame, but the props are realistic, and the dialog is o.k. For this type of movie. You can add it to your disaster collection.
Of course, being on a sub, we could not have the standard flame thrower.
For a very low budget movie, 'Silent Venom' is fast paced entertainment, naturally with cheap effects, but never boring. Luke Perry (as Commander O'Neill) plays the captain of the boat, Krista Allen is the scientist Dr. Swanson, and Louis Mandylor whom I remember from 'Relic Hunter' plays her shady assistant Goldin whose greed causes most of the trouble.

- GoofsThe deeper in the ocean you go, the colder it is. All they had to do was dive down and turn off the heaters. As snakes are cold blooded they would have slowed way down and been easy to capture or kill.
