A failed kidnapping becomes a hostage situation in a house with a black mamba on the loose. This was surprisingly good with wonderful acting all around. It's a slow drama which cleverly does not focus on the snake but rather uses it as a device to maintain a high level of apprehension that certainly kept me on edge and the snake attacks, when they did occur, were pretty shocking. I loved the POV shots from the snake's perspective as it crawled around. It's reported that Kinski and Reed did not like each other and it shows in their interactions making it all the more tense. -- DrNostromo.com
