When I watched this Kevin Williamson produced horror flick I kept on thinking that it was made about ten years too late. It's your basic 'Friday the 13th'/SCREAM scenario with the stock teenage characters, sort of DAWSON'S CREEK meets JASON. The only original thing is how the dead guy is possessed by all these murderous spirits because of a voodoo mistake--but far too little time is spent on this character. It's too bad that VENOM lacks any bite.
