This movie, which opened in the U.S. today in 1972, wasn’t even remotely about lead actress Joy Bang getting it on with a snake, as the poster hints. No, the plot actually involves were-serpents—you know, people who turn into serpents. Seriously. The lead is actually African Amerian actress Marlene Clark, denied a place on the poster for reasons we can only guess. A shoestring special effects budget denies us the thrill of believable snake transformations, but we do see a lot of Clark's flesh. The film was shot in the Philippines, which gives it a gritty feel, but even though Philippine laws are notoriously lax concerning snake-on-girl action, it never actually occurs in the way implied on the promo. So basically, the filmmakers cruelly teased the snakes, then compounded this sin by violating truth-in-advertising laws. Had we been around in 1972, and had PETA been around, we’d have called them in, because it’s evil to give any creature blue balls, particularly snakes, who have to slither around on them. Frankly, we expected more from an actress named Bang.
