Verdict on Snake Creek
Recap
The movie follows four friends who go on an adventure weekend. However, they clash with a killer snake and locals who want to keep him around. It becomes a race to survive in a wilderness of the unknown.
Best Parts
The wilderness elements of the film are fun, using the idea of exploring the world and being free from modern society.
Worst Parts
While the concept is good, the film doesn’t give us enough investment into the characters. Their relationship never feels that close and things are too generic. Elsewhere, the attacks never feel like a threat and more protection of land.
Final Thoughts –Snake Creek is a generic by-the-book creature feature.
