Rattlesnake [Movie Review]

Rattlesnake [Movie Review] | I hate snakes. So, I still do not know why I watched the movie. Actually, I was too bored, it was MCO and I think I have watched most of the other movies on Netflix. 

So, just roll with it.

• There's a part where Katrina was Youtubing how to fire a gun and the YT channel is genuine. The YT that she referred to belongs to Hickok45 and amasses over 4 mill subs during filming.

Driving alone with a little child from Arizona to Oklahoma certainly tires one out. Katrina is driving to Oklahoma with her daughter, Clara and has to take a detour when she sees very heavy traffic on her mobile map. Yes, she will escape the traffic but the detour is directing her to drive through a desert, with literally not a soul in miles away.

It was on this long stretch of desert road that her tire explodes. As she's changing it on the road, Clara wanders nearby before being bitten by a rattlesnake. Frantically looking for help, she realises that the area has no cell service and time is running out to save Clara, she runs to a trailer that is somehow located not far away from her car. 

Asking for the woman in the trailer to assist Clara, the woman tells her to hurry with the tire as the next town with a hospital in it is quite far and Clara needs the medical attention urgently. When she returns to take Clara to the hospital, Katrina realises that the bite marks have vanished, but she brings Clara to the hospital just to be sure. 

The doctor says there is nothing wrong with Clara and no evidence that she has just been bitten by a rattlesnake. He suggests that he'll keep Clara in the hospital for the night for observation and examines Katrina, who might be too tired from the long drive. 

Later, a man comes to visit Katrina and Clara, to talk about Clara's 'payment' - declaring that Clara's soul was spared and must be repaid by another human's soul before sunset. Dismissing the guy as being delusional and a threat, she asks the man to exit the room. The man tells Katrina that Clara will die of the snake's venom if the debt is not paid in time. 

Seeking proofs that she is not hallucinating, she tries to find the trailer by the roadside but the trailer is nowhere to be found. Instead, she meets with a bloody trucker with a missing eye that warns her that Clara must die. 

But can Katrina, a soft-spoken mother and well-mannered human being kill another human to spare Clara?

MY REVIEW:

Plot: 3.2 / 5.0 The first 30 minutes of the movie gets me excited to watch the rest. Then the momentum starts to drop as they play with emotions and decisions and more hallucinations.

Where's the horror? When she finally decides, it was at the end of the movie. 

Cast: 4.5/ 5.0 Carmen plays her part beautifully and I think she floats the movie. If not for her acting, the movie would have sunk faster than the Titanic. 

Will I watch it again: No, thanks. A decent movie to kill time.
