"Venom" Starring Agnus Bruckner, Jonathan Jackson and Laura Ramsey
Directed by Jim Gillespie
Denim By
Michele Dillon
Things I Am Scared Of That May Be In A Scary Movie (but not limited to this list):
1.) Any kind of insect that is doing something it shouldn't (example: being larger than normal, walking faster than normal, biting people's heads off...)
2.) Talking dolls (this may also have something to do with the fact that I do not like objects doing things they shouldnt)
3.) Clowns (they are just plain scary and they have creepy smiles)
4.) Spiders in general (big, small, medium)
5.) People that wear masks (or any kind of thing that covers what their face really looks like)
6. Chainsaws (you would think at this point in time we could invent a chainsaw that does not make that huge loud creepy sound!)
Ok...I think you get the point. I'm a wimp. However, I was able to watch this movie and not get scared at all. In fact, I was so NOT scared that I titled this review "Denim" since that is exactly what I was thinking about during this movie (also, it rhymed with Venom, whether that is just coincedental, that is up to you to decide). The movie was about evil spirited possessed snakes (ok, so I wasn't really thinking about denim, it just rhymed, ok!). Evil spirits have the possibility of being scary, possession has proven to be scary in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but snakes? Whats creepy about snakes? So they slither on the ground and they can eat things that are 4 times bigger than their own heads, but other than those two VERY minor things, they are not scary at all! If you see a snake you have a very good chance of running away since they really are not that fast. Ok, so it might end up being poisonous but you can just suck the venom right out! It's easy!
So I don't know what this director/screenwriter was thinking...the basic rules of movie making are a.) if its not a good script, then make a scary movie out of it and b.) if its not a good script and it can't be made into a scary movie, then DON'T MAKE THE MOVIE.

Hahaha. I like this: " the basic rules of movie making are a.) if it's not a good script, then make a scary movie out of it... SO True. Most scary movies are B or C rate.
