Bite the kids! Bite the kids, dang it! What's an angry rattlesnakes movie without satisfactory bite scenes? Especially when the kids in it are particularly dumb or bratty. But like most creature flicks, this movie stays away from using kids as meals. Why, I wonder. Do the people who make these movies think militant moms would watch them and protest? Chances are, the people who watch such movies, the people like me - couch potatoes and/or B-movie buffs, would want to see kids get mauled/eaten/bitten. If not for the sheer satisfaction, then for the logic: kids aren't as smart or wise as adults (except the Boy Wonder, Wesley Crusher, maybe) , and adults certainly get whacked/devoured/chomped on enough.
Otherwise the snakes look pretty real (maybe they are, I can't tell). There are enough suspenseful scenes to carry the movie, though not as many payoffs (read: bitings) for the twisted B-movie aficionado that I am. 6/10
