Venom (2005)
Re-teaming Scream producer Kevin Williamson with his I Know What You Did Last Summer director, Jim Gillespie, Venom is an enjoyable if not spectacular slasher film.
Set in the American Deep South, the film has a nice creepy swampy atmosphere with a voodoo backdrop and a killer brought back from the dead who looks not unlike Swamp Thing himself, but this is no PG rated comic book romp, it's a gory horror film with slashings and impalings aplenty.
Whilst nowhere near as good as Williamson's Scream or indeed I Know What You Did Last Summer, Venom is still a more than watchable thriller that i've seen a couple of times now.
