Snakes in Movies

Snakes Run Amok

This is an alphabetical list of movies in which deadly snakes attack people, sometimes because someone is controlling them with magic or witchcraft
or because they have been altered in some way from their natural state by scientific experiments, environmental changes,
chemicals or some other form of contamination. Sometimes they're just on a killing rampage.
These are similar to the Giant Monster Snake Movies, in that the snakes are terrorizing people, but these are groups of normal-sized snakes instead of one giant one.There is also some overlap with the Snakes Used as Weapons list. This list is taken from the complete Snakes in Movies List.

Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching a film.
