A quartet of friends (Adam Bash, Paul Ogletree, Lukas John, Tristan Green) go on a kayaking trip deep deep into backwoods country, USA, and of course they ignore the warnings of a local shopkeeper (Scot Scurlock) of the giant snake that runs wild in the woods - and the beginning of our heroes' trip couldn't be more relaxing really - that is until they run into a capsized kayak, and when they investigate they run into the above mentioned giant snake who soon enough has killed two of them. And while the rather over-cautious and somewhat timid Bill (Adam Bash) scurries off to get help, macho man Patrick (Paul Ogletree) stays behind to fend for himself - and falls captive to above shopkeeper and his two sons (Jared Hasmuk, Oscar Rockwell), who have adopted the snake as their pet and see to it that she's always well fed - and her favourite food is human flesh. Patrick's only hopes to survive this now lay with Bill - but Bill will have to do some serious manning up to keep Patrick's hope alive ...

Basically, Snake Creek is a throwback creature feature done right: Without in the least just apeing the films of yesteryear, the film really gets the look and feel of genre fare from circa the 1970s right, without relying on post-modernist irony or nostalgia bait but just trying to tell a solid (if rather simply and straight-forward) story populated by flawed but relatable characters. And the result of this, coupled with solid performances by all the involved, is then a good piece of in the best sense of the world old-fashioned genre entertainment.
