VENOM (dvd) *NEW* kidnap caper is interupted and 12 similar items

Brand new factory sealed dvd is printed on foil stock and glistens when tilted in the light. Tobe Hooper started this all-star suspense film project but was replaced by the director of 'Blood on Satan's Claw'. It features a very real deadly snake on camera, no fake CGI. Kidnapping-hostage-siege plot mixed with snake-menace subplot results in a taut suspenser despite the melodrama. Martin Bregman's production maintains a compelling hold as a black mamba, the most lethal reptile in the world, is loose in a London mansion where kidnappers Oliver Reed, Susan George and German criminal Klaus Kinski hold an American rich kid for ransom. The tension mounts as the killer snake slithers through the house, ready to strike. Meanwhile, policeman Nicol Williamson ('Excalibur') barricades the street to engage in standard hostage negotiations. Sterling Hayden is the boy's grandfather, a retired big game hunter and hence knowledgeable about deadly serpents. Sarah Miles is an expert toxicologist who enters the house and is trapped with them.
