Tell the kids about Venom!

Venom stars Susan George (Straw Dogs) and Oliver Reed (The Devils) as a maid and chauffeur who team up with international terrorist Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu the Vampyre) to kidnap the grandson of their wealthy boss, played by Sterling Hayden (Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb). However, their meticulously planned heist unravels when the kidnapped grandson inadvertently brings home a snake—a deadly Black Mamba—that escapes in a posh London apartment, turning the abduction into a desperate fight for survival.

Directed by Piers Haggard (The Blood on Satan’s Claw) and based on the novel by best-selling author Alan Scholefield (Great Elephant), Venom is a riveting blend of kidnapping drama and horror. The film features an all-star cast including:

• Nicol Williamson (Excalibur)
