Based off of Bat’s glowing recommendation, we checked out this monster movie:
This scene is about two minutes in. It goes downhill from here.
See?
Two minutes later.
On a natural 'to-hit' roll of 20, giant water cobra swallows prey whole.
This is late in the movie. And, to be honest, by now I was cheering for the monsters. Or anything that would bring on the credits.
After grabbing these screenshots, I realized that the aspect ratio was off by a bit. But I decided that fixing them wouldn’t make the pictures look any better, so I left them.
My kids got a great laugh out of the whole thing, though, so it was well worth a Netflix.

I’m sorry you wasted a Netflix slot on that one. I saw the trailer for it the other day and didn’t get halfway through it before I moved on to something else. I can see where the kids would have enjoyed it! There is also a trailer swimming around (no pun, intended) for Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. It stars Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson. I know, she wants everyone to call her Deborah, but if I did, no one would know who I was talking about. Anyway, that looked like more fun than Komodo/Cobra.
Added to Netflix. Thanks for the tip.
Glowing recommendation?!
Holy Hams Sandwiches! You actually rented this movie?
From Netflix?
I bet they flagged your account as being a weirdo.
I went and re-read your “glowing recommendation” and realized it was a warning. But by the time I figured it out it was too late. Sort of like those folks in ALIEN who mistook the warning beacon for a distress signal.
For crying out loud! The Sci-Fi channel makes more convincing movies! All of those monster ones: Manticore, Basilisk, etc.
