Venomous is a 2001 American direct-to-video disaster horror film directed by Fred Olen Ray, credited as Ed Raymond, and starring Treat Williams, Mary Page Keller and Hannes Jaenicke.

[1] In 1991, a group of Iraqi commandos penetrate a secret American government lab, releasing genetically modified rattlesnakes.

TV guide stated, "In its B-movie way, the production succeeds in shaking up fright fans; if it had only talked less and slithered more it might have been a small gem".

The acting fails to convey the intended emotions and watching an hour and a half of a search for an antidote is not what you rented the film for.
