SSSSSSS

- Ian Berriman

RELEASED OUT NOW! 1973 | 15 | Blu-ray & DVD (dual format) A throwback to ’50s hokum like The Alligator People, this serpentine shocker sees a scientist giving Dirk Benedict injections that turn him into a snake/human hybrid.

Planet Of The Apes veteran John Chambers’s make-up is decent, and the blending of horror with educationa­l facts, displays of cobra-wrangling and high-flown dialogue is amusingly idiosyncra­tic. But the final transforma­tion is disappoint­ingly hiss-worthy.

Extras Two cast interviews; a poster.
