Those CGI snakes looked terrifying! Seeing Sampson freeze when the cobras appeared added so much tension. I thought he was the alpha until the reptiles showed up. (Dubbed) The Secret Snake Guardian uses creatures well to shift power. Lillian's fear felt real too. The room felt suffocating with those snakes around.
