Cut Snake is a 2014 Australian thriller film written by Blake Ayshford and directed by Tony Ayres.

The title comes from the Australian idiom "mad as a cut snake" which describes either insanity or anger so extreme you don't want to get near it.

[2] Twentysomething Paula (Jessica De Gouw) meets Merv (Alex Russell), her dream boyfriend out of nowhere.

James (Sullivan Stapleton) comes “fresh out of prison in Sydney” and is looking forward to pick up where he left off with Merv.

Soon after, Paula finds out that Merv spent four years in jail on manslaughter charges.
