Returning to a life of racial bigotry after two years of killing in Vietnam, Seminole Indian Tim needs a lot of help. The only love and affection he is now capable of expressing is to venomous snakes. Tim’s fellow human beings respect his serpentine expertise; his affection for snakes is another story. Tim finds others hate, if not misunderstanding, Stanley and his snake friends. If his friends are killed or mistreated, Tim dishes out cruel punishment to the human transgressors. Snakes are his tool for revenge. Snakes, however, are fickle creatures and the final venomous showdown takes place deep within the swamp between the two friends. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

A trash story about a Vietnam veteran who has become asocial due to PTSD and retreats into his house in the middle of the Florida swamps, having venomous snakes as his only company. He tries to protect the animals from local poachers who are after snake skin, but since those want more than just the snakes, an unpleasant fight takes place. Stanley has a certain trashy charm and a solid atmosphere of sordid villages, but also stagnates as much as the surrounding water in terms of pace and these 108 minutes are way too much for such a simple story. Moreover, despite the fact that the flick seeks to promote a peaceful coexistence of humans with wild venomous reptiles, the explicit violence it shows towards these creatures undermines the global image of the film (the creators could and should really have done without it).

Stanley is the kind of trash horror movie that just can’t be watched from beginning to end. At least a few times, you will
have to avert your gaze to look at, for example, your tablet for a minute to make sure that you have not missed
something of even the slightest interest during those wasted 100 minutes. The film has guilty-pleasure potential, which
could have been higher had the pace of its narration been faster. The performances of the supporting actors and the
camerawork + editing in some scenes are must-see hell.
