Venom (2005)
A tale of voodoo and the undead in the Louisiana swamps.
Produced and directed by the makers of I Know What You Did Last Summer, Venom is a slickly made, atmospheric, modern slasher film which utilizes the swamp locations well.
As with the aforementioned IKWYDLS, Venom isn't particularly gory for a slasher but the viewers interest is maintained by good characterization and an interesting story line which zips along at a steady pace. The voodoo adds something extra to the typical slasher plots and is used far more effectively than say Adam Green's Hatchet.
Whilst i'd never claim Venom is anything other than decent, i did enjoy it and will definitely revisit it at some time.
