Venom Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
This straight-up slasher flick probably should have gone straight to video for the cheesy-looking, computer-generated snakes alone.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Never strays from the mainstream slasher genre's long-decayed bylaws.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
... even by the logistically malleable standards of the horror genre, Venom lacks even the barest rudiments of the form ...
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
After The Skeleton Key, another lifeless Deep South horror movie charting the myriad frights of costumed black people performing defense rituals.
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
A mud-simple horror trudge set in a swamp colony of Abercrombie models.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Even by the standards of the current Miramax fire sale, this misbegotten horror film deserved to go direct to video. Or cable. Or oblivion.
Variety
Justin Chang
As mindless scare machines go, Dimension Films' bayou-set slasher thriller acquits itself well enough. Gratuitously gory and derivative to the core, Venom manages to deliver some effective frights in between large swaths of voodoo gibberish.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Even the title is lame, but it does convey the movie's overall effect: numbing and toxic.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
There's nothing clever about this movie. It starts too slow, plot points are abandoned and even the killings start to run together.
New York Times
Anita Gates
Venom certainly can't be called a good movie, but within the horror genre it's perfectly palatable.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Even the undemanding high schoolers the film is aimed at will experience déjà voodoo, as Venom recites the A through Z of horror clichés. All hopes for suspense and plot twists are snuffed out about as quickly as the film's black characters.
New York Daily News
Robert Dominguez
A witless, derivative slasher flick.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Though not meant to be taken seriously, Venom is no chucklefest but rather a harrowing ordeal in the ruthlessly violent vein of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Venom is even more pointless than most supernatural slasher movies.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
Venom is so far beneath comparisons to Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer that it would have to add a Jennifer Love Hewitt cameo just to keep company with the worst sequels of those popular movies.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Smartly directed by Jim Gillespie from a script by various hands, Venom ... follows its stylish, energetic and darkly amusing horror movie tradition.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Venom is a horror film full of swampy Southern atmosphere and voodoo creepiness. Unfortunately, it comes after The Skeleton Key, which mined the same territory and did it with more imagination and style.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Venom reprises all the tedium of slasher flicks, from the idiots who scream and trip and fall rather than simply run away to the macho killer who can't be stopped. There's no antidote for that.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
As unconvincing and unrealistic as one of those ridiculous made-for-cable 'horror' films on USA Network, the kind starring Tom Wopat or Timothy Busfield.
Chicago Tribune
Jessica Reaves
Jim Gillespie (I Know What You Did Last Summer) directs and while one might naively believe that the absence of Jennifer Love Hewitt would in itself predict an advance in moviemaking, one would be sadly mistaken.
