Snakes on a Train is an action/horrorB-moviereleased directto DVD by TheAsylum on August 15, 2006 [1][2].
Continuing TheAsylum's notoriety of capitalizing on major films withlow-budget films with similar titles and plots (hence the term 'mockbuster')[3], manyaspects of the film are inspired by the film Snakes on aPlane which was scheduled for theatrical release threedays later on August 18, 2006. However, this film containssignificantly more violence and gore than its counterpart and alsoincludes some supernatural elements.
Plot
Although taking the same basic idea from Snakes on aPlane (lots of deadly snakes loose on a claustrophobic, high speed means oftransport), the background story of how and why the snakes arethere is significantly different.
In this movie, writer Eric Forsberg describes the plot as awoman who has been put under a Mayan curse which causes snake eggsto hatch inside of her and eat their way out. In order to recoverthe lost pieces of herself, the snakes, she must take a train to Los Angeles where apowerful Mayan shaman can lift the curse, taking thesnakes along with her in small jars. When she gets on the train,bandits accost her and the snakes escape, leaving the rest of thepeople on the train to deal with them.
Eventually, and inexplicably, aside from a brief plot devicewhich states that she cannot merely eat the snakes to restore themto her body, she transforms into a gigantic snake herself andproceeds to swallow the train whole.
Inaccuracies
While the box promises '100 Trapped Passengers - 3,000 VenomousVipers', in reality there are only about a dozen passengers and ahandful of snakes. There is also a wholly unconnected subplot regarding two femalepassengers smuggling drugs.
It should also be noted that the train involved consists on theinside of old post-World War II streamliners, rather timeworn and thusresemblant of late pre-Amtrakand early Amtrak trains. The movie's depictions of the trainexterior is a study in inconsistent use of stock footage: thetrains consist of rolling stock that appears to change magically,ranging anywhere from a full train of Bombardier bilevels to an Amfleet set to, perhaps, achain of Superliners, and at almost no timedo the exteriors shown match the interiors (which remain consistentthroughout the movie).
Reception
When reviewed by Variety magazine, it wasdescribed 'neither undiscriminating action fans nor connoisseurs ofhigh camp will find much bite in this latest direct-to-videoproduct from The Asylum.'[4]
Scott Foy, reviewing the film for Dread Central wrote 'How thehell do you produce a rip-off this dispirited?'[5]

The official trailer was made available for download on TheAsylum's official site. It has been televised on G4's Attack of the Show.

There's nothing like a good snake to goose up a film. As a big fan of monster movies, I'm always game for a good snake film. Whether it's a giant snake or swarms of little ones, both serve their movies well. Quality is the biggest obstacle, as many snake movies are just outright bad. I'm amazed at the plastic snakes used is some of the older 'cops style' TV shows. But occasionally, a really good snake movie slithers into cinemas, and makes our day. Time for the Top2040 list of the best snakes on film. The top 25 Snake Movies:
![Train Train](/uploads/1/2/5/7/125788531/170644139.jpg)
1/tie - Anaconda (1997) The two bedrock movies for snake fans. Beautiful settings along the amazon river, good acting, and a few good lines. Most of all, the snakes look real.
2 - Boa vs. Python (2004) Good sets and script, and an appearance from Dr. McKay (Stargate Atlantis)
3 - New Alcatraz aka Boa (2001) Dean Cain. In a new Arctic prison, a prehistoric Boa is released from the ice, and it's hungry.
4 - Snakes on a Plane (2006) Samuel L. Jackson puts a new spin on fear of flying.
5 - Python (2000) Robert England and Casper van Dien
6 - Vipers (2008) Tara Reid. A nest of vipers escapes from a science lab.
7 - The Trek (2002) Thai movie ' ดงพญาไฟ ' with a team chasing down a giant river snake. A top2040.com favorite
8 - King Cobra (1999) starring Pat Morita from the Karate Kid
9 - Curse II: the Bite (1989) Good movie, great poster.
10 - Copperhead (2008) Snakes on the plains, set in the west.
11 - Sssssss (1973) Dirk Benedict is turned into a snake by creepy character actor Strother Martin.
12 - Komodo vs. Cobra (2005) Any movie with a Komodo dragon automatically gets an extra star, and showdowns are always good in big monster movies. This match actually works. It's no Oscar contender, but then... what is?
13 - Jennifer (1978) a girl has the ability to control snakes, which she uses for revenge against her classmates. This movie was playing on the success of Stephen King's 'Carrie' from the previous year.
14 - Venomous (2001) snakes are spreading a virus through their bite.
15 - The Snake Woman (1961) A woman is cured by snake venom, then gives birth to a girl who may be growing up to be more snake than woman.
16 - Piranhaconda (2012) A mediocre script is saved by a very cool looking piranha snake hybrid.
17 - Hisss (2010) Snake woman on the loose
18 - Snakeman aka The Snake King (2005) The usual trouble while searching for the fountain of youth in the Amazon.
19 - Atragon (1963) for Manda the giant sea snake
20 - Spasms (1983) A man has a psychic link to a killer snake.
21 - Rattlers (1976) A nest of rattlesnakes goes on a rampage.
22 - Mega Snake (2007) A mystical snake grows giant as it eats people and feeds on fears.
23 - Anacondas 4: Trail of Blood (2009) far behind parts 1 and 2, but still better than 3.
24 - Basilisk: the Serpent King (2006) An ancient Libyan serpent is revived. Worst cgi effects ever! but an acceptable plot.
25 - Snake Island (2002) Ridiculous movie, but makes the list because of the snake count. A lot of good-looking snakes here. Remove the actors, and this movie becomes pretty good.
Honorable Mention : Silent Predators (1999), Venom (1981)
Worst snake films : Snakes on a Train (2006) was a cheap 'straight to dvd' attempt to beat Snakes on a Plane to theaters.
Mega Python vs. Gateroid (2011) has pre-school cgi effects.
Looking forward to a new year with new monster snake movies. But first: acting lessons, please. It's not great when the snakes are the best actors in the movie. Giant snakes are prima donnas, though.
