This misbegotten horror film deserved to go direct to video. Or cable. Or oblivion.
Venom certainly can't be called a good movie, but within its genre it's perfectly palatable.
Acquits itself well enough. Gratuitously gory and derivative to the core, Venom manages to deliver some effective frights in between large swaths of voodoo gibberish.
Smartly directed by Jim Gillespie from a script by various hands, Venom is from Dimension Films and follows its stylish, energetic and darkly amusing horror movie tradition.
