Viewing Notes
Been wanting to view this for a long time after seeing the VHS box. And now that I know there’s a longer cut I’d really like to see that version which I’m guessing is more sleazy than the US VHS cut (76min same as Instawatch). While not being a great movie it’s on par with New World Pictures horror exploitation output from that time period. I kinda dig the mythology around the snake woman and the need to have sex to retain her human form. Didn’t realize until tonight that Lynch’s HISSS movie from 2010 was essentially a remake of this. But both movies are based on the same mythology.
