Stay home if you prefer spiders

We had spiders, sharks, worms, piranhas, or carnivorous plants. But it's been way too long since we've had snakes. Have we ever had snakes at all?! While Bill Pullman fights insanity in THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW, Samuel L. Jackson must face off against poisonous snakes released aboard an airplane in SNAKES ON A PLANE.

‍In THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW (1988), known in this country as DIE SCHLANGE IM REGENBOGEN, an anthropologist is sent to Haiti to find out why a person who has been told dead is suddenly walking around again. Determined to oppose voodoo and superstition with facts, new mysteries and horrors are constantly happening that challenge faith in science. Wes Craven (THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and SCREAM, to name just a few) makes Bill Pullman doubt his mental state and takes us viewers into a mystical world of mysterious rituals and nightmarish visions. R.I.P. Wes.

The idea couldn't be simpler or smarter. In order to eliminate a key witness who has to be flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles for the court date, villains smuggle hundreds of poisonous snakes aboard and release them. It is the easiest way. It's completely understandable that there would be no alternative to murder someone. The only thing you can do is be amazed that something like this doesn't happen all the time. But despite an ingenious plan, the snake rascals did their math without Samuel L. Jackson. SNAKES ON A PLANE (2006) is arthouse cinema for discerning people and filled to the brim with high-quality early 2000 CGI snakes that look almost amazingly real.
