Sssssss

Don’t let the onomatopoeia fool you; this low-budget snake attack movie is way better than it has any right to be. Strother Martin stars as a legendary herpetologist Dr. Stoner, who hires a young college student to help with his research, but does he may have an ulterior motive. What caused the abrupt exit of his previous assistant? And what’s really in the anti-venom inoculations Dr. Stoner keeps giving him? Something is definitely amiss at the snake farm. And the King Cobra on site might not be his greatest threat! Thoroughly entertaining, and rather educational about snakes, Sssssss boasts not just memorable Psycho homage (with snakes!) but perhaps the most beyond-WTF-cobra- venom-hallucination sequence ever put on film.
