Venom (2005) 6/10

Starring : Agnes Bruckner, Jonathan Jackson, Laura Ramsey, DJ Cotrana, Rick Cramer, Meagan Good
Director : Jim Gillespie
Running Time : 83 mins

When Ray Sawyer (Cramer) gets bitten and killed by some snakes which were being used in a voodoo ritual, his corpse comes back from the dead, possessed by 13 evil spirits, and starts murdering people around town armed only with a crowbar and his tow truck. When local waitress Eden (Bruckner) realises what is happening, she calls upon the help of her friend Cece (Good) whose grandmother was a practising witch.

This was a pretty standard teen slasher, which surprisingly came from the team who made I Know What You Did Last Summer. Although not as good as that, this still had the right level of over the top violence to keep any slasher fan happy, and there’s the added bonus of it being very short so there’s no time to get bored. The performances could have been better, but it’s a horror film, and acting isn’t high priority.
