Rent Sssssss (1973)

Snakes Alive! - Sssssss review by Spoons

I really enjoyed this little creature feature from the early 70s. It had slipped through my movie viewing net but I finally got round to seeing it courtesy of Cinema Paradiso. Highly entertaining although I wouldn't recommend it especially if you have a phobia of snakes. The scenes involving the slithery creatures are really quite intense, even more so as we are told at the start of the film that every snake used in the picture is indeed real and the actors, all of which are very good, did expose themselves to a certain amount of risk. Interestingly the producers Zanuck and Brown went on to produce probably the biggest creature feature of all time a few years later. A little movie called Jaws.
