…and I’m not afraid to say so – AGAIN – even though the last time I used that line, it provoked snickering from some immature types who apparently didn’t understand that the operative word in that sentence isn’t “lady”, it’s “snake” Hmmph!
Anyway…
In which some stalwart Brits set out to prove they can make a film as bad and stupid as anything produced in Hollywood, and succeed.
In a small village in the north of England, at the turn of the last century, a mad scientist injects his wife with cobra-venom, in order to treat her mental illness. Unfortunately, besides being insane, she is also pregnant. The child, a girl, is born with cold blood and strange, staring eyes. She survives an attack upon her father’s house by a torch-carrying mob, and almost twenty years later, a wave of deaths from snakebite strikes the residents of the village…
Then Scotland Yard feels compelled to investigate. Interfering bastards!
(In other news, I have also re-formatted Cobra Woman, and re-formatted and added screenshots to Cult Of The Cobra. Ohhh, yeah!)

I now have to see this film for its demented ethics.
By the way, who do you think spends more time in the pub – the villagers of The Snake Woman or the villagers of Zombie Lake?

Ah, torch wielding mobs. When you have a horror movie but are short a few fur brained, paranoid imbeciles…
Good work, Liz.

Alas, Dave, I cannot take credit for that one (hence the quotation marks): it’s actually from an episode of Scrubs, which was playing while I was working on this. It seemed…appropriate.

Or as The Snake Woman likes to call them – THE HEROES.
Baron, that’s a very good question; and now that I think about it, the two films are very similar in structure, each with three sets: pub/pub, Colonel’s house/Mayor’s house, rock/lake. I think The Snake Woman has more actual pub action [sic.], but no nekkid chicks ever come wandering in, so that tips the balance the other way.

Oh yes, Lyz, next to those 4 screencaps, *that* quotation was…………most……appropriate! 🙂 Now, I by no means *hate* snakes, but I do admit to an irrational fear of them. I’ve seen a few Bull Snakes up close. I admit to *jumping* at first, because in size and markings they are similar to Rattlesnakes,minus of course the “rattle”. Bull Snakes are cool though, because they control the mice population.
But I still have that atavistic fear!
It occurs to me, if the husband/herpetologist was going to cure insanity with Cobra Venom, what would he use to cure gout?
Squeezing the patient with a Python?

I understand. That’s how I feel about – *shudder* – people. The bastards…

That’s interesting Lyz. 🙂 I *hate* people, myself,well at least my neighbor who is “serenading” me right-this-second. Might you happen to have contact info for Mr. Adderson? ;D
I just wonder though,seriously, *why* snakes bother me? Tigers and sharks are both capable of killing me, but I love them both. Here in Colorado, you’re in more danger from the weather then snakes.
But it’s the snakes that scare me.

Well mostly what I see for snakes are garter snakes, and the little one that somehow maneged to get in the house the other day was downright cute in my opinion. But from the sounds of things, the snakes in this movie were mor likable that the human charecters.
