The movie starts in a village where two giant snakes attacked the villagers and killed almost all the people. On another scene, a train with all class of people are going somewhere (exactly where I didn't know or might be not mentioned in the movie). Then all of a sudden a lot of snakes begin entering into it and biting people and suddenly the two giant snake also started eating people. The male lead saved some passengers but some are also bitten. So,he suggested that they should come with him in his village where he can save their lives with medicine. But, unknown of the fact that the snakes venom is so strong that his medicine won't work. So,one of the villagers who was earlier survivor of the snakes said that King snake flower will only work otherwise all the bitten people will be dead. Thus,the male lead along with the survivors set out for a difficult journey of searching of King snake flowers. And the story goes on how they overcome the obstacles and attain that flower. As I said earlier, it conveys an important message. At the middle of the movie, it is shown that the Armys bombed the hills to make roads and the villagers are cutting trees randomly so it is the reason the snakes are entering into human habitants. If they haven't did this, it won't happen. It was good message and this can also happen to us if we randomly destroy their habitant, they will end up entering to villages and cities as they won't have a place to live. This is all about the movie. Movie is kind of boring but there were just one person who made me laugh the army major(Actually I forget actual position,I was in bit hurry to finish this so watched in 1.75 speed) . If you have watched any Chinese movies, you will be shocked by its graphics, I was quite fond of Chinese snakes movies. Though the movie have a good message, I don't understand the necessity of putting these two gigant snakes into it. They could have just go with other snakes as it was kind of social awareness movie. And also all the snakes are attacking the train at the same time also kind of made it unrealistic. They could have stick to being more realistic..

No pun intended - if there is one snake ... there are more. And it is already more than one snake. Monster movies seem to come back in style. Not that I would argue they have a great quality. But they can be fun - Snakes on a train and all that. Well just one section of the movie. The effects are ok, though do not expect this to have big budget CGI in it. This is a horror movie and the effects are quite obvious. Just roll with it - take it for what it is. Also there are other monsters here too - so not just the (fake/computer) snakes ... but also bats and other animals. Also this has a pathos level that may annoy you ... sacrifices and some cliche character turns make this ... well make this what it is ... like it or not.
