FIRE SERPENT is your usual science fiction-themed slice of low budget nonsense that comes courtesy of the Sci Fi Channel. This one was written by William Shatner, of all people, but other than the outer space premise it has nothing to distinguish it from all the rest. The titular fire serpents originate from the Sun and arrive on Earth, seeking power to build their strength and also occupying human bodies as required.
The film features the usual bunch of clichéd characters with renegade heroes on the run from sinister government forces. Nicholas Brendon, formerly of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER fame, seems to have put a ton of weight on since those days and simply isn't good. Some of the other actors are even worse, particularly the blonde reporter who delivers perhaps the most grating turn I've ever seen from a Sci Fi Channel movie. The CGI fire effects really aren't up to scratch either, making this a chore all round.
