Now for something COMPLETELY different


I’ve been saying that something needed to happen to shake up the western genre and it’s finally arrived. In fact, the Sci Fi Channel has stepped up with an amazing work of western cinema entitled Copperhead. It’s an entrhalling tale of a sleepy town that plays host to a man with a dark secret, a bloodthirsty outlaw and a kid trying to proove himself in a harsh land. Oh…then the town is overrun by snakes.

I haven’t lost my mind. I’m kidding.

Actually, Copperhead is one of those Sci Fi Channel original movies that are so crappy they’re amazing. Copperhead is a western and there’s western stuff in there, but don’t take it seriously. Nobody connected to the movie did. It’s good for a laugh and the snakes look like they were actually using computer graphics to render rubber toys. If you’ve got some time to kill on a lazy weekend, give it a go. Sometimes, a crappy movie fits the bill very nicely.
