‘Prepare for the hiss of death’
Giant Python is a 2021 fantasy monster movie about a magic tree, a mega snake and a forbidden island where intruders are eaten alive. The US title is Python Island

Directed by Zhang Dicai [aka Zhangdi Cai] (Monty Python; Monty Python 2), from a screenplay written by Chen Taixia. The Chinese production stars Yue Dongfeng, Shao Five and Tan Li Min.

Plot:
In a village where snake-catching is the livelihood of most of the local populace, a magical tree grew. Because of the tree’s benevolence, it saved one small snake from the villagers and named it “Little Flower”.

Many years later, Xiaoshu has become a biological researcher, exploring the secrets of genes. Unfortunately, his colleagues with ulterior motives use the power of the magical tree to break into a forbidden area by ​​the snake-catching village: the island where intruders are eaten alive. The island is filled with moisture, quietness and weirdness, and it seems there are eyes everywhere; staring at every move made by intruders…

Reviews:

” …it feels as if this gets bogged down in considerably too much bickering among the party, when you feel they should be coming together, against the threats posed by nature. There is a kinda nice side-plot about Jiashu re-uniting with the snake he released a decade previously, who is now considerably larger (top), yet still remembers his owner fondly. Overall though, there’s too much talking and infighting for this to be entertaining. It’s mostly dull.” Rating: C- Film Blitz

“There are good ideas in this one and some good acting (albeit dubbed into English), so it’s not a waste […] A silly film that can be fun when it isn’t melodramatic. It’s a decent time-waster, especially since it still isn’t even 90 minutes.” Mondo Bizarro
