Four years after the film was released in its native China, writer/director Zhang Dicai’s creature feature Monster Python has finally been released in North America, courtesy of ITN Distribution. The digital version is available to rent or buy right now through Amazon at THIS LINK. The movie is also coming to DVD on March 15th, and you can pre-order a copy at THIS LINK. To help you decide whether or not Monster Python is a movie you would like to watch, we have the trailer embedded above.
The synopsis is short and simple, because when your movie is about a monster python you don’t have to tell potential viewers much more than that:
A film crew shooting in an abandoned village uses a collection of large eggs that they find, as props for their movie. Only to discover that the mother of the eggs would kill to get them back.

The writer/director also clearly didn’t want to make viewers invest too much time in this concept, as the film is only 64 minutes long.
Qian Wang (Love in the Internet Generation) stars alongside newcomers Dai Ji Ping, Wu Hao, Du Wu Lin, and Wang Xin Man.
Monster Python (I have seen multiple people accidentally refer to this movie as Monty Python) was produced by Hong Fang.

This was Zhang Dicai’s feature writing and directing debut. It looks like it could provide some goofy fun, but I’m cautious. There are a whole lot bad giant snake movies out there.
