Silent Predators is a 1999 American horror television film directed by Noel Nosseck and starring Harry Hamlin and Shannon Sturges.
Plot
After a truck carrying a rare species of tropical rattlesnake crashes, the snakes escape into the wild. Twenty years later the snakes have bred with native rattlesnakes to create a highly aggressive and lethal new species that begin to slowly overrun the southern California town of San Vicente. After the deaths of several residents of a housing development, local fire chief Vic Rondelli tries to convince the city government that the snakes are a serious threat despite opposition from Max Farrington, a land developer more interested in finishing his work than the people's safety.

Reception
Silent Predators received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, who criticized almost every aspect of the movie. Michael Speier of Variety called the film "absurdly unrealistic and dramatically inept", stating: "'Predators' is visually unspectacular, and the scare tactics are buried beneath Michael Tavera's heavy-handed score and some poorly realized jump-cut editing from Tod Feuerman".
