Curiosidades
In a 2019 interview with But Why Tho?, Zak Hilditch spoke about his inspirations for the film: "Stephen King 's DNA is running all throughout this movie. My best pitch for it is basically, 'Based on a Stephen King novel that Stephen King never wrote'. And that was sort of the vibe I was going into it with after my previous film, which WAS a Stephen King adaptation, 1922 (2017). I was in sort of that King zone of just really loving his writing and how he just burrows under the skin of his characters, and this really to me is very much inspired by King, it's inspired by La dimensión desconocida (1959)... Ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. That's stuff I really like exploring."

Pifias
When Katrina is sitting in her car outside the motel her phone reads Wed Nov 7 12:06pm, but a few scenes later at the hospital the ECG monitor on her daughter reads 15:47 Dec 3.

Citas
The Suit: What was done for your daughter doesn't come cheap. Her little soul was spared. And now you owe one in return.
Katrina Ridgeway: I'm sorry, I thought you said soul.
The Suit: Ms. Ridgeway, you don't have long to pay your debt. You only have until sunset, which is now only seven hours away. The soul you take can be any one of your choosing, but it must be human. And it must be paid in full and on time.

Kind of a Twilight Zone episode, not movie-worthy

Unfortunately not very good as a movie. These Netflix originals are really hit or miss stuff and I think I can see a pattern already. In many cases they are something that would work better as an episode of an anthology series and don't really benefit from movie length. There simply isn't enough substance to carry a full movie.

We have a mother and a child who for whatever reason are moving by car and decide to take a short cut through a small desert road. Tyre goes flat and a rattlesnake bites the kid while the mother is changing the tyre. Mysteriously a trailer appears nearby where they go to seek help (cell phone naturally does not work). Kid is cured, but the cure comes with a price that puts the mother in a difficult situation. While kind of interesting setup, there is zero beef to the story, nothing is explained or based on anything. And this is often the case with these "direct-to-Netflix" movies, things just happen. When there is no story to base the plot on, it's not very interesting. Just so many why's .. And the ending is fittingly unsatisfying.

The direction - while not exactly bad - definitely does not add any artistic value to the movie. A movie either needs to be artistically interesting or tell a proper story, this one did neither. Why a rattlesnake? Who was the lady? What was the movie all about? Is there some folklore about a rattlesnake bite and cure that I as a European don't know? I mean the movie is even titled "Rattlesnake" and not "The Curse of The Desert Lady", which it probably would have been called had it been made in the 50s. It kind of has the same b-movie quality to it.

The acting is ranging from ok (Ejogo) to bad (Rossi).
