''Lockjaw: Rise of the Kulev Serpent'' (Carnivorous) is a 2008 film directed by Amir Valinia with DMX, Wes Brown, Louis Herthum, and Lauren Fain.

In the countryside, the boy Alan and his friend Becky steal a creepy wooden box with a powerful voodoo stick inside from his voodooistic neighbor. When the boy draws with the stick, his drunken father is attacked by a snake and vanishes. Years later, Alan and Becky are married to each other; while planting some flowers to celebrate the death of Alan's mother, Becky finds the box buried in the garden and she keeps the stick in her pocket. Meanwhile, five friends are traveling in a monster truck, drinking beer. The driver accidentally runs over Becky, but believes he had hit an animal. When Alan witnesses the hit-and-run and sees his wife dead, he uses the stick seeking revenge against the youngsters.

!!Tropes:

* AssholeVictim: The incident that triggers the plot is the protagonists' running over someone. The major difference between these teens and the teens from ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''? ''They never noticed they hit anyone'' and when pointed out that they did, they believe they hit an animal and '''moved on'''. Kiiiiinda makes one of the protagonist's WhatTheHellHero speech towards the villain of the film stupid considering they were the ones that caused him to do it in the first place.
