"The Killer Snakes" is a pretty damn demented HK gross-out feature about a young man who's a bit of a social outcast. He gets bullied and beaten up by everyone, he has perverted hallucinations reverting back to the S&M games he heard his mother play when he was a kid and he appears to have a special connection with snakes. He operates on them and then subsequently keeps them around his ramshackle flat as his sole friends. When thugs steal the money from his delivery boy job and his girlfriend doesn't show up during their first date (although he doesn't know it's because her father died that same night), he goes berserk and instructs his cobras to bite the ones who wronged him. This definitely isn't a movie for the squeamish and/or the easily offended! "The Killer Snakes" contains a whole lot of sleaze, animal cruelty, sexually disturbing imagery, violence against women, perversion, torture-porn and depravity. It's a really questionable fetish-film from the Shaw Bros' stable. As soon as I witnessed the infamous and downright sickening snake penetration sequence, it became all too clear to me that this movie is merely just out to present the biggest amount of exploitative imagery ever. If you like that sort of junk, be my guest. To me, it was just a waste of a potentially interesting animal-horror script. "Jennifer" and "Stanley" are two American movies from the same period, equally dealing with adolescent weirdos extracting their revenge through domesticated snakes. Those films are perhaps slightly less memorable, but at least they're tasteful.

Thank you again "Something Weird Video" for bringing up titles like this.To be honest, I catched it on local t.v. at 4:00 a.m. here in Mèxico. I wonder why it aired at such a late hour. The fact is that it wasn't that heavily cut but still I'm sure there's a glorious, sleazy unrated version.The movie is all about violent deaths caused by snakes attacks. A really weird lead male character uses snakes against his friends... yes... as simply as that. But not only against his friends but also takes victims such as prostitutes.There isn't much to comment about "Snakes Attack". It's cheesy, low budget, but certainly nasty. Check it out if you have the chance. Not for everyone.

"The Killer Snakes" is surely one of my guilty pleasures.This incredibly sordid horror film mixes gore,perverse sex,torture and animal cruelty.Chen Zhihong lives a miserable existence in a rundown hovel next to a snake emporium(where the owner removes and sells the live animals' gall bladders as an aphrodisiac).His only friend is Xiujuan,a pretty and sympathetic girl who sells toys in the local outdoor market.One evening Zhihong receives a most unusual visitor who becomes his closest confidant.A mutilated reptile from the neighboring shop slithers in and allows the youth to nurse it back to health.Naming the snake Xiaobiao,Zhihong soon finds that he has gained the trust of several other reptiles as well.However,his troubles with humans continue unabated,as he is beaten,robbed and humiliated by a prostitute and her cohorts.Even his faith in Xiujuan is shattered when she stands him up one evening for a date(though,unbeknownst to Zhihong,it is for a legitimate reason).With the help of his snakes he decides to take a gruesome revenge on everybody,who humiliated him."The Killer Snakes" is an ugly little film with several unpleasant characters.The atmosphere is incredibly sleazy and there is plenty of nudity,bondage and perverse sex to keep fans of exploitation happy.9 out of 10.

This seventies Hong Kong import is about as unpleasant as it gets. An unsanitary, screwed up uber loser befriends some snakes to get back at everyone; for Everyone is mean, stupid and cruel in this film. Except his virginal girlfriend of course, and well, don't ask.I thought it was interesting that you are never really sure if this guy has trained the snakes, or if they just feel sorry for this miserable soul. At any rate, when he's not using live snakes to rape his tied up whores, he is not above zapping them with a Kamoto dragon. It's a fun filled frolic for the whole family! Some of the trained Cobras are impressive to watch. The letterboxed print from "Something Weird" is awful, blotched and stained all the way through. If you want to see this, however, you better go for it, I don't think Criterion will get to this one for awhile.
