''Snakes on a Train'' is an action/horror Z movie released direct to DVD mockbuster by The Asylum on August 15, 2006.〔(The Asylum )〕〔(IMDb )〕 Continuing The Asylum's notoriety of capitalizing on major films with low-budget films with similar titles and plots (hence the term "mockbuster"),〔(Horror.about.com )〕 many aspects of the film are inspired by the film ''Snakes on a Plane'' which was scheduled for theatrical release three days later on August 18, 2006. However, this film contains slightly more violence and gore than its counterpart and also includes some supernatural elements. It also has a much slower pace than ''Snakes on a Plane''. ==Plot== Although taking the same basic idea from ''Snakes on a Plane'' (lots of deadly snakes loose on a claustrophobic, high speed means of transport), the background story of how the snakes end up on the train is completely different. In the movie, writer Eric Forsberg created a woman who has been put under a Mayan curse which causes snake eggs to hatch inside her belly and eat their way out. In order to recover the "lost pieces" of herself (the snakes), she must travel to Los Angeles where a powerful Mayan shaman can lift the curse. She takes the snakes along with her in small jars. While on the train, bandits attack her, allowing the snakes to escape and endanger the rest of the passengers. Eventually, and inexplicably, she herself transforms into a gigantic snake and swallows the moving train whole. Six passengers managed to escape unharmed and one of them performs magic to make her vanish. However one girl is shown to have been unknowingly bitten, suggesting the curse will remain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snakes on a Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
