| Overview: | They're waiting to slither you!
Two adorable little boys, camping with their parents in the Mojave Desert, are fanged to death by at least a dozen rattlers. Then a housewife is setting table for dinner when she's unexpectedly greeted by an army of the wiggling horrors scurrying around her feet. Worse, as a plumber on a late-night house call crawls beneath a home and disconnects a bathtub's drain pipe, a big scaly one makes a beeline straight up his pants. Unaware of this, the lady of the house climbs into what she assumes will be a relaxing bubble bath only to find RATTLERS suddenly swimming beneath her legs!
As the reptile attacks continue, the Mojave Sheriff's Department brings in two experts, herpetologist Tom Parkinson ("I specialize in rattlesnakes!"), and feminist photographer Ann Bradley, who quickly uncover a link between the anti-social snakes and the U.S. Army; specifically "CT3," an experimental nerve gas controlled by a crackpot colonel straight out of Dr. Strangelove...
A film which has no trouble being good-natured one minute, then surprisingly sadistic the next, RATTLERS delights in activating the opidiophobia in all of us. An remember, kids: "It doesn't hurt to be overcautious when you're dealing with any kind of venomous snake!"
