Long has two obsessions - fantasizing about torturing women and spending
time with his only friends, snakes. Soon he discovers that he can combine
both activities and live very happily.
This
is a disturbing, mean-spirited film from the Shaw Bros, filled with graphic
violence, sleazy S&M sex, and wagonloads of slithery serpents.
Of course,
the Shaw Bros are best known for their abundance of quality Martial Arts
films, but sometimes the studio would deliver horror movies. The result
was seldom conventional, rather - before it was hip to do so -
they concentrated on horror films which relied on human derangement for
chills. The result can be found in motion pictures like BLACK
MAGIC, SEEDING
OF A GHOST, HUMAN
SKIN LANTERNS and this most remarkable sleaze-fest.
Here,
the Shaw Bros combined the S&M elements popularized by Japan's Nikkatsu
Studios with the '70s trend toward "critter-befriending"
(i.e., WILLARD, et al) resulting in one of the strangest
and ugliest cinematic ventures of all time.
