Due to many peoples' lack of information on snakes, snakes have received a bad reputation for being vicious bloodthirsty beasts. As I've said before in my blog, this simply isn't true. They are often harmed and provoked by humans causing them to strike in self defense. A large part of their negative depiction is due to the media.
As a fun blog, I will name few movies in which snakes are shown as killers.
1) Snakes on a Plane
This is a movie about killer snakes being released on a plane (hence the title) and some of the passengers efforts to escape and save as many people as possible.
2)Anaconda
This horror movie is centered around a group of people who are out to search for and kill the legendary Anaconda.
3) Razortooth
Yet another horror film about snakes / serpents. In this movie, a killer water snake is the monster that hunts down people.
Although there probably is a movie in which a snake is the "hero", I have never heard of or seen such a movie. Even on the news and books, snakes are mostly portrayed as dangerous and we are constantly warned to not go near them. So I think it's safe to say that media has a large part in creating this false depiction.
