Serpentine received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its atmospheric tension and unsettling imagery, but some criticism for its predictable plot and underdeveloped characters. Audiences were generally more receptive, appreciating the film's scares and its commitment to a darker tone.

• Praised for its effective jump scares and claustrophobic atmosphere.

• Criticized for a narrative that struggles to maintain its tension throughout.

• Visually striking with some memorable creature design, but hampered by a conventional story.

Google audience: Google users largely appreciated the film's suspenseful build-up and the creepy nature of the central creature. However, some found the ending to be anticlimactic, and a portion of viewers felt the story became too convoluted in its latter half.

The distinctive slithering sound effects for the 'Serpentine' creature were created by manipulating recordings of a large python's movements through water and sand.
