Reviews
"Vipers" received predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a score of 4.5 out of 10, reflecting general disappointment. Critics often cited the film's low-budget special effects and derivative plot as major drawbacks. For instance, the lack of suspense and unconvincing CGI snakes were noted as detracting from the overall experience. However, some reviewers acknowledged the film’s entertainment value as a B-movie, appreciating its campy vibe and straightforward monster movie approach. The film did not appear on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic with a formal critic score, indicating limited mainstream critical attention, which is common for many direct-to-video genre films of the era. Overall, "Vipers" is seen as a forgettable entry in 1990s creature features, primarily appealing to fans of cheesy horror and snake attack movies.
