Most of the movie's main focus remains on the doomed teen "pork loins," of course, who drink and carouse and make the obligatory arrogant anti-Southern slurs. ("Don't forget to brush your teeth — where we're going, there aren't too many of 'em, y'all!") For you Friday the 13th buffs, there's even a death-while-coupling scene, though for it to work, the snake has to shrink down a bit. (Magical monster, right?) Another character gets beheaded by what I think is supposed to be the beast's tail, though the effect isn't all that easy to suss out.
"Don't forget," our hero tells the surviving teens just before the movie's unconvincing showdown, "at the end of the day, it's just a snake — a really messed-up snake!" If I was given the cover art in a movie this fangless, I'd be messed-up, too.
