Snakes in Movies   In the Lost Lands (2025)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   This is a supernatural dark fantasy action movie, based on a story by George R.R. Martin, author of the Game of Thrones saga. It didn't get a lot of love from the critics or at the box office, but it's fun to watch if you like dark and murky CGI post-apocalyptic worlds, and of course, it has some good snake action. All we are told is that the Lost Lands were destroyed in a war as "death rained from the sky" in some kind of apocalyptic war and that only one city remains. Somehow the lands are full of mutated beasts and supernatural magic. Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich) is a witch who fights off her foes with two sickle blades. She is persecuted by a church woman credited as "The Enforcer" (Arly Jover). When Gray escapes the hangman's noose, the oppressed people of the city make her a symbol of their rebellion calling her "the witch that will not hang." When someone comes to Gray to ask her to help them, she can't say no, but we don't know why. The Lost Lands are ruled by The Overlord, whose Queen hires Gray to turn her into a shape-shifter. (It's confusing why she wants to do this until we find out at the end that her baby daddy is a werewolf and she wants to become one so she can go howling at the full moon with him without getting killed. So, it's for romantic reasons.) Gray Alys leaves the city and heads out into the wastelands to find a werewolf known as Sardor so she can kill him and steal his shape-shifting power for the Queen. She meets a hunter known as Boyce (Dave Bautista) in a bar and hires him to take her to the wolf man. We first see Boyce's snake when he is alone and robbers are ambushing him. One robber reaches into Boyce's rifle holder to steal his rifle, but he doesn't know that Boyce has a two-headed pet rattlesnake that likes to hide in the rifle holder. One head bites the man on the neck and the other head bites him on the forehead then again on the eye. Boyce kills the other men himself, then puts the barrel of the rifle on the ground and so the snake can crawl up to him. Boyce says the rifle never works but the snakes always do. The next snake scene happens when Gray Alys meets Boyce in a bar, wins all his money at cards, then hires him to guide her to the lair of the werewolf Sardor - The Great Wolf. They are sitting at the bar when she sees a man about to shoot them. He is one of The Enforcer's bald face-painted church soldiers. Gray runs away as Boyce quickly grabs the butt of his rifle and flings it upwards, making the holster and the snake inside it fly heads first, fangs bared, towards the soldier. The heads bite the man then the snake falls and wraps around the arm of another soldier. A third soldier chops off that man's hand with a sword, causing the snake to fall onto the floor, next to the severed arm, at the feet of The Enforcer. As the snake springs up to bite her, she cuts off the snake's two heads with her sword. We see the dead snake on the floor. Boyce is understandably very upset at losing his beloved pet two-headed rattlesnake and vows to kill her. R.I.P. sweet little two-headed killing machine. Go to Hell church lady. A second snake shows up when Boyce and Gray Alys are camped for the night. Boyce sees a snake on the ground and picks it up. It opens its mouth and he examines it carefully to see if it is a worthy successor to his two-headed pet, but he declares that it's not good enough and releases it. Apparently, one head is not as good as two. Gray Alys mocks him for getting emotional about a snake and he replies "It was a damned good snake, that's all" because tough guys don't show emotion. The snakes are CGI that's realistic enough for me considering the movie is an unrealistic fantasy and the snake is a mutant. The Lost Lands are full of mutated humans and animals, so a two-headed snake isn't unusual in that setting. But it is strange that the two heads on the snake are joined in the middle of its body, unlike the two-headed snakes that occur in the real world, which are joined closer to the neck. Like most CGI movie snakes the snakes have two large front fangs, which is realistic for rattlesnakes and other vipers. A rattlesnake flying fangs-first through the air and biting whoever it is aimed at, like some kind of heat-seeking snake missile, is ridiculous, of course, but anything goes in a fantasy world with a mutated snake.
