Vipers

2008 ·1h 35m · ★ 4.0 (44)

A set of vipers has been taken by scientists to mutate them to make a cure for cancer. As their experiment goes awry, the vipers escape into the woods - they're not only biting people, they're actually killing people, in a little town.

Why it matters

A low-budget creature feature where science fiction meets slithering terror, delivering snake attacks with enough grit to satisfy fans of eco-horror and B-movie thrills.

  • Practical effects and prosthetics give these mutated vipers a tangible, if rough-around-the-edges, menace rare in direct-to-TV monster flicks.
  • Perfect for viewers who appreciate late-2000s SyFy-style creature chaos with a dash of mad science gone wrong.
  • Plays into the body horror vein—mutation and infection as creeping dread—echoing genre staples like David Cronenberg’s themes, albeit at a fraction of the budget.
  • Not a polished thriller, but its earnest approach to snake horror and small-town panic has a certain grim charm for fans of cheesy, watchable creature features.
