All Hiss and No Bite
The film has atmosphere going for it: "mad doctor", a witch, snakes, a snake woman, lynch mobs, gothic aesthetics but the story is lacking, just really needed more to it. There isn't a lot in the way of showing the snake woman until the end of the film.
Actors are good - they take their roles and the film seriously. There are no cheesy special effects for horror - instead real snakes are used along side of cuts and film splicing for the effects.
Is the film worth watching? Well, if you need something to do on a boring rainy afternoon then this film will kill 69 minutes of your time. It's not an awful film, but it's not grand.
5/10
