Venom is a 1981 horror film about a kidnapping gone wrong, when a boy's deadly black mamba turns the tables and terrorizes the terrorists who have invaded the boy's townhouse. Directed by Piers Haggard, it stars Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed, Nicol Williamson and Sarah Miles.

Venom is reputed to have been the seedling of influence for the 1990s box office hit "Home Alone", starring Macaulay Culkin, where a young boy terrorizes malevolent burglars who break into his suburban Chicago townhouse during Christmas.[citation needed]
