The Snake Woman
Directed by Sidney J. Furie
- Charles YnfanteFebruary 11, 2026The Snake Woman. Black and wnite. 67 minutes. A movie made in Britain. 1961. . In short, at 67 minutes this mini-movie is about 52 minutes too long. . The first 12 twelve minutes are creepy and unsettling. The next eight minutes show action and promise. . Then, Scotland Yard comes on the scene to investigate kiillings by snake bites. At this point, whatever atmosphere of horror that might have been evaporates and disappears. The movie flatlines. The characters are "British chaps" who talk about what's happening. . Watch only the first 20 minutes and call it a night. Review by Charles Ynfante.
