I have complained before about SciFi Channel's godwaful original movies, but they keep making them worse and worse. Last weekend must have been a giant snake festival. There was one giant snake after another. One movie had a giant Komodo dragon as well as a monstrous cobra, and these two monsters fought to the death. Another movie featured a super enormous dinosaur ("fifty times larger than a T-rex") that some space aliens resurrected and set loose on the populace. The giant dinosaur breathed fire and could be dematerialized and rematerialized by the aliens at will. They had some pretty sophisticated technology and powerful weapons, so the dinosuar seemed fairly gratuitous. The acting was really abominable, and the production values were abysmal. But they weren't really bad enough to be good.
Remember those movies with Doug McClure where he would find a lost world full of really fakey looking pterosaurs and other monsters? Those movies were terrible, but they were so terrible that they were kind of good. These SciFi originals are just plain bad and not even campy. I don't think they are even trying. They should pay me to write them some cheap ass but enjoyable movies.
