Genre: Thriller, Horror
Tagline: He Never Hurt A Soul Until The Day He Died.
Plot: Director Jim Gillespie's hit slasher film from 1997, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, saw four teens being stalked by a shadowy figure. In 2005, Gillespie helms VENOM, a further entry into the stalk-and-slash genre that sees the director returning to familiar ground. The plot is basic, and simply serves to allow the requisite group of dumb teens to either meet their maker, or narrowly escape the clutches of a mysterious stalker. Set in Louisiana, the voodoo that the region is notorious for has rippled through a local graveyard, and sucked up all the evil spirits of the dead who lay there, depositing them in a suitcase full of snakes. When local bad boy Ray (Rick Cramer), who is the scourge of the town's teen population, meets a grizzly demise in a car accident, the snakes are unleashed and Ray (AKA Mr. Jangles--so called because he collects keys from his dead victims) is resurrected. A few notable names, such as Bijou Phillips (ALMOST FAMOUS) and hip-hop star Method Man, feature among the cast as Mr. Jangles goes about his kill-crazy rampage, and Gillespie tweaks the minimal plot to allow a few unexpected twists and turns to unfold. Plenty of violence and bloodletting ensues, while the lack of a post modern SCREAM-style approach to the film makes for a refreshing change.

A horror film for horror fans. Same-old story, but with a interesting new lead villian and cool deaths; mixed with decent gore. Check this enjoyable no-brainer slash-flick. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Venom is a throw-back to those " I know what you did..." type movies, and frankly I believe we've grown past it. Not even being rated R helped this one guys.  --Hyde (horror-web.com)
