Full Plot Details

Deep in the jungle of a remote island in the Pacific lives a new breed of mutant snake. Dr. Andrea Swanson and her research assistant Jake have been studying the species in a top secret military experiment to develop the ultimate anti-toxin. But when tensions rise with the Chinese military, Admiral Bradley Wallace quickly evacuates the island. The only way home is an old, decommissioned submarine on its final voyage to its new home in Taiwan. Wallace decides to put Lt. Commander James O'Neill at the helm, a hardened pro facing forced retirement... and he is less than pleased to be "babysitting" his two new guests. But they're not alone. Andrea was ordered to bring some of the experimental snakes back to the mainland - and worse, Jake has smuggled some of the deadlier mutated snakes on board, including a giant diamondback. When a Chinese vessel attacks the sub, the vicious creatures are released from their secure containers and begin to stalk the crew members one by one. Trapped two hundred feet below sea level with no way out, the sub's skeleton crew find themselves attacked... in the galley, torpedo room, shower, and control room. The snakes are hungry and vicious... but nothing can prepare the crew for the terror that awaits them when the diamondback escapes its captivity. Growing in size and ferocity with each meal... the mutated beast is seemingly unstoppable. O'Neill and Andrea become unlikely allies in the fight to keep the deadly snakes at bay as Wallace worries about an international incident as they try to save the sub from the enemy vessels tracing their every move...

Movie Reviews

CNNRadio - 8/10 by Paul ChambersTruly terrible film. Don't get bitten. Paul Chambers, CNN.
Reel Film Reviews - 3/10 by David Nusair...a particularly potent exercise in bottom-of-the-barrel filmmaking virtually from start to finish...
7M Pictures - 3/10 by Kevin CarrThe problem is that without a decent budget, snakes aren't that scary.
DVDTalk.com - 2/10 by David CorneliusWell, it's a direct-to-video Fred Olen Ray movie that's about three years too late to the Snakes on a Plane rip-off party. You were expecting good?
User Review - 6/10 by Jackalqueen ~Silent Venom is about the transportation of a decommissioned submarine to Taiwan led by Captain Luke Perry (whose gotten off a court Martial by being forced to retire after this simple mission), which was assigned by Tom Berenger (who turns in a terrific performance in an otherwise useless and wasted role). The sub needs to make a pit stop to a small island where a scientist Krista Allen and her assistant work on genetically altered snakes with deadly bites, not to mention two new breed snakes that are growing at an exponential rate. Against the Allen's wishes, the assistant brings all of the snakes on board the sub, they get loose (naturally), and it becomes Snakes on a Muthafuckin' Submarine, unfortunately, there is no Samuel L. Jackson to take them on, but rather a crew comprised of Perry, Allen, and some surprisingly decent no-name actors. Overall, I was expecting something wholly different from schlock/craploitation director Fred Olen Ray (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Evil Toons, Cyclone to name a few of the hundreds of films he's worked on). Instead, Ray actually puts forth an effort to make a better than usual killer-snake movie. The balance of a cast trying to combat snakes (actual ones for the most part, no less) while overcoming military drama of surrounding enemies above them was a good mix to the story. There was average acting with barely any of it being bad (gasp!), and they didn't overdo it on the CGI, which was pleasant. As far as cons go, the ending is slightly awkward and confusing, not to mention we are treated to a gigantic snake at the beginning of the film (think King Kong proportions) that makes a kill and is NEVER seen again in the film. Talk about disappointed. It also would have been nice to see Berenger in a bigger role, like in the middle of the action. Overall, though, this wound up being better than I expected and a decent time-killer. Still, I would only recommend this to Sci-fi channel enthusiasts, or those who get a kick out of these kinds of movies.

User Review - 4/10 by Van RSILENT VENOM is--no surprises here--essentially snakes-on-a-sub. The U.S. Navy has sold an old submarine to Taiwan and Admiral Bradley Wallace (Tom Berenger of LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR) assigns Lieutenant Commander James O'Neill (Luke Perry of THE FIFTH ELEMENT) to skipper the sub. It seems that O'Neill disobeyed a direct order and he stands to lose his retirement benefits as well as his rank, but Wallace engineers a deal that will save the Lieutenant Commander both his rank and honor. Naturally, our hero does not care to sail as a skipper on an unarmed sub. Meanwhile, on an island, Dr. Andrea Swanson (Krista Allen of EMMANUELLE, QUEEN OF THE GALAXY) and her unethical research assistant Jake Goldin (Louis Mandylor of RENEGADE FORCE) have been conducting research on venomous snakes so that they can provide the Pentagon with anti-toxins for troops in chemical warfare situations. The Red Chinese decide to stage manuevers and the Pentagon needs somebody to pick up Swanson. You guessed it. The old sub is the closest thing to transport so Admiral Wallace orders our hero to let them hitch a ride. The catch is that Dr. Swanson can neither divulge the nature of their research nor that they are bringing snakes onboard a submarine. Furthermore, Swanson has only a few bottles of anti-toxin that has never been tested so she does not know if it works. No sooner have Swanson and Jack settled into the sub than the snakes get loose. A curious sailor is the culprit. SILENT VENOM is reminiscent of a 1974 made-for-television David Janssen thriller FER-DE-LANCE. The bigger snakes are clearly computer-generated-imagery while the smaller snakes appear to be real snakes. Veteran exploitation filmmaker Fred Olen Ray of HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS, knows his craft well enough to generate a modicum of suspense out of the formulaic screenplay by Mark Sanderson. The best scenes show both the real-life actors handling the snakes. Luke Perry has to remove several snakes from the neck of Krista Allen. SILENT VENOM is strictly an exercise in boilerplate suspense. The ending is clever.
User Review - 4/10 by Daniel GAverage snake film and the director forgot about the mama snake.
User Review - 4/10 by James HWe've had Snakes on a Train, Snakes on a Plane, now Snakes on a Submarine. A decent budget helps, and a cast you may recognize. Decent score, it has suspense, but it's very routine and predictable.
User Review - 2/10 by Jenn Tn the same vein as Anaconda and Snakes on a Plane, Silent Venom takes familiar actors and throws them in a sci-fi snake plot that always ends the same. What sets Silent Venom apart from its influences is the simple fact that majority of the movie takes place underwater mixing in drama of living in a submarine and being in enemy territory. This 20th Century Fox produce film stars Luke ?Squinty Eyed 902101 Guy? Perry and Krista ?I make awkward sexual glances? Allen as the main leads of the movie. Story wise Silent Venom is a standard made for TV sci fi snake movie taking the danger of enclosed spaces with poisonous snakes from Snakes on a Plane, the threat of some super snake from Anaconda and places them completely underwater. What the movie does good with the story is actually making the poisonous snakes a threat but completely drops the ball with working in the super steroid snakes that feel as if they were just attached onto the script last minute to add a ?sci fi? element. The movie as a whole doesn?t try to take itself too seriously but doesn?t try to aim for total cheeseball spoof. It instead manages to stay in the center between average and awful. Some of the entertaining moments in the film were the possibly forced sexual tension scenes between Luke Perry and Krista Allen. They came out to be so awkward that the awkward moment turned into an even more awkward moment by not knowing what to do with itself to the point where one more glance coupled with a 70s porno line would have put it in the territory it seemed to be heading. All in all the awkward scenes felt like the end of a bad date where you walk the girl up to the door and get caught in a half hand shake half hug scenario. The glaring problem besides the forced ending ripped out of the 80s was the horrible CGI. The horrible CGI with the Aggro-Snakes could have been cut from the movie completely and it still would have worked with normal poisonous snakes. Speaking of horrible towards the beginning the military officer speaking to Krista Allen over a wi-fi setting was missing one thing. WEB CAMS. The movie forgot we are in the year 2009 and left the computer technology in the pre-Hackers era. All they had to do was run to Best Buy and buy some cheap web cams to at least make it seem like Krista Allen and unknown military officer guy weren?t screaming into their computer. Should you watch this film? Not in theaters or and don?t buy it yourself. If you are bored, have nothing to do, and there is nothing on TV, check the movie out. You?ll be entertained for a few minutes too long. Other than that this movie is just a rehash of themes and plot points seen in other sci fi snake movies that do it worse.
