Review – Basilisk: The Serpent King

This one’s cheap and terrible even by Sci Fi Channel standards. I have to admit that I came in slightly late on it, so if something Oscar-worthy happened in the first 20 minutes or so I missed it. On the other hand, if the part I didn’t see was consistent in quality with the part I saw, then I didn’t miss much. The beast is a big, computer-animated lizard with teeny little appendages that give it a downright comical look. And the show-down between the monster and the villain was so inept – in terms of both script and special effects – that the segment actually made it onto The Soup, an “honor” it richly deserved. Wish I’d skipped it
