SnakeHead Swamp (2014 TV Movie)
4/10
JIM. THE SAFETY'S ON!

Warning: Spoilers
This is another SyFy original with all the expected bad props and sad script. Of course some people like that.

The film opens with three subplots that quickly come together. There is William Boudreaux (Antonio Fargas) who believes everything relates to the curse on the swamp placed there by his gr-gr-grandmother who died in 1861. We also see some young adults head out for some swimming and drinking out at ill defined "the point." Ian (Ross Britz) provides us with an additional antagonist while Kerri (Sloane Coe) wears a bikini as an attempt at eye candy. Then there is the delivery van carrying genetically modified Snakehead fish from Asia which are larger, more aggressive than normal. And they can breathe and walk on land for a few days at a time.

The film incorporates generic internal relationships, ie cheating boyfriends, couples breaking up, couples getting together. These proved uninteresting as the characters were unable to entertain us with mediocre dialogue.

The film gives us a creature eye view through a modified fish-eye lens. The film has blood sprays and CG fish that is comically bad and I found myself laughing at one of the over spray killings.

Made for TV. No bad language, sex, or nudity. Minor sex talk like, "I used her all up."
