Cut Snake is a 2014 Australian thriller film directed by Tony Ayres. The title comes from the Australian idiom "mad as a cut snake" which describes either insanity or anger so extreme you don’t want to get near it. The film was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
Merv (Alex Russell) is an ex-convict who is trying to make a new life for himself in 1970s Melbourne. He has found honest work and even becomes engaged to Paula (Jessica De Gouw), but the prospect of his new life is challenged when his foreboding and charismatic former cellmate James (Sullivan Stapleton) arrives in town and pressures Merv into going back to his old ways.
Cut Snake was met with positive reviews from critics and audiences, earning an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
