Rating:  - suspense, snakes, what more could you want?
I saw this years ago, and no matter how many snake movies I watch, I still want to see this one again. Loved Curse II also, but this one was a bit "different" than most snake movies.
Can't figure out why those cable channels that show movies like this never show it. I'd watch it over and over if had the chance. Really does make you wonder about other so-called "research projects" and what the REAL effects on life and nature would be if carried to full completion. When will man stop trying ... Read More

Another 70's gem. If you hate snakes then this one will give you the creeps.I am a child of the 60's who grew up with movies like this .No CGI,and the actors all handle the snakes.Not recommended for the youth of today who love their computer effects and massive budgets.If you like movies from the 70's like Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark and Bad Ronald then check this one out.
Rating:  - Dr. Stoner is a Modern Frankenstein/Hitler
Watching "Sssssss," along with "Frogs," on television in the mid-seventies fueled my interest in snakes and other reptiles. I almost became a herpetologist. Instead, I owned several species of frogs, lizards, and non-poisonous kingsnakes throughout my life. Dr. Stoner, the mad scientist of "Sssssss" reminds me of a combination of Frankenstein and Hitler. He wants to create a new, more perfect race of humans - a race that will survive the coming fuel and food shortages. He sees himself as God, creating ... Read More

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2COC67CWQLVKK Horror movies these days depend on naive chicks, bad makeup work, stupid plots and some boisterous jock to completely rain on the parade ... uh, actually this movie from 1973 relies on all that stuff too, but it's still pretty cool! Truth be told, there's a grainy, eerie feeling right away on "Sssssss" as Dr. Stoner (Strother Martin) and a sleazy carnival guy unload a crate that contains some whimpering being, which we later find out is a grotesque ...

Rating:  - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This bit of something from my childhood has not aged well at all. Only Strother Martin seems to be enjoying himself and the story is really the pits. It seems that Strother wants to change a man into a king Cobra(who knows why) and Dirk(The A-Team) Benedict is elected.
Like I said this is one that should have stayed in my past, as it just doesn't work for me anymore.
