Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Construction at a remote Antarctic prison releases a gigantic snake into a facility already full of dangerous people. Dean Cain enters a compact corridor chase built around very poor institutional planning. Also known as Boa, it is a chilly companion to the era's many oversized-reptile films.
