A good Samaritan becomes the victim of voodoo spells in this horror story produced by Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson. When an aged Creole woman is caught in a car wreck in a remote section of Louisiana, Ray (Rick Cramer), the owner of a nearby filling station, speeds to the scene of the accident to help. However, Ray doesn't know that the woman is a voodoo practitioner whose vehicle holds a case full of magic talismans. The magical spirits lead Ray to an unexpected death, and then they take over his body, turning him into a bloodthirsty monster. As the reanimated Ray makes his way into town, a group of teenagers including Eden (Agnes Bruckner) and Tammy (Bijou Phillips) find themselves running for their lives from the supernatural creature, while Deputy Turner (Method Man) looks for a way to keep the strange menace under control. Venom went into release in the fall of 2005 -- only a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the state of Louisiana, making the film seem unfortunately topical. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rick H.

I agree with a lot of others here, The star of this movie is the erie atmosphere! The plot is ok, the acting is ok, the movie does try to rise above the low lot of slasher flicks out there these days, but still just misses the mark. Biggest problem is that there really is no one for the audience to root for here. The "last chick standing" is not given enough back story to make you really care. And the director doesn't seem to know how to create a suspense sequence longer then 30 seconds. This could of had a lot of bite, too bad it was just a good try at a nibble. Don't expect too much and wait for a late night viewing.

It started out like a low budget flick but got better and more exciting as it went on it's worth watching.

Alot like Fiday the 13th meets frankenstein. Good plot. Gave me a little faith in low budget films again.
