A giant hybrid snake named Seth is about to wreak havoc on a small community during a county fair. It will be up to Dr.Brad, Kagen, town hottie Jo Biddle, and Nick Hashimoto, a famous snake wrangler, to bring Seth down. The hunt is on.

My Lord does this one suck. Now before you roll your eyes, get this one. Seth is a genetic hybrid between a cobra and a rattle snake. That’s right, not only does good old Seth have a big scary hood, he has a rattle too. What a great idea! Nah, not really, they just took two cool parts from snakes and stuck it on one. What a priceless combo.

Anyway Seth escapes from his holding pen, which is a metal box, and proceeds into town gulping down anything that gets in his way. Sometimes he even uses the rattle. Dr. Kagen tries to find the 100 ft reptile, but because that would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, he needs a little help from Jo and Nick.

First off, Jo and Kagen have some of the worst dialog ever between a man and a woman, it is bad, my good people. But lets get to the star of this flick, Pat "What the hell happened to my life" Morita who plays Nick Hashimoto, reptile expert. I guess after Karate Kid Pat was kinda in need of some money and took on this role.

Nick is immune to snake bite poison because he injects himself with it. I don't know why either, but I bought it.

The final battle between Nick and Seth is a pure piss-yourself laughfest. I swear the good Hashimoto-san gets bitten about a dozen times. Forget the fact he is immune to poison, but the fact that Seth has fangs as long as short swords should at least leave a puncture mark or two. With bad acting, horrible story and even worse effects this one belongs in the can, however it is one of those monster flicks that for some reason or the other you find guilty pleasure in.

Besides the climatic fight at the end where I was screaming for Mr. Miyagia to do the "crane kick" and put Seth down for good, this one is bad, real bad. Not even a cameo by Erik "Poncharelo" Estrada as a homosexual can save this one.
