DanTheMan 2 From the Director of The Boxer's Omen comes a super sleazy riff on Daniel Mann's Willard but with nudity, BDSM and a man who can control snakes. A shameless thriller that mixes social commentary with lashings of sex and violence, played without any irony or humour. The title makes you think this is going to be more along the lines of Calamity of Snakes but instead plays out as a substandard revenge story with unpleasant snake butchering thrown in for good measure. Nearly everyone in this is unlikable in some manner, it wants to emphasise the ugliness of poverty and finding a way out but ultimately fails to capitalise on this idea. Kuei's direction does deserve its fair share of credit, utilising a lot of hand-held camerawork over the glamorous compositions which characterised the Shaw Brothers' output at the time. Unfortunately, The Killer Snakes is an ugly film, one that's ugly in its design, often leading to an execution that's too lightweight to rise above its limited ambitions and very hard to sit through. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Audience Member It has it moments but overall fairly wank. As he is such a sick fuck it's almost impossible to shout for the protagonist. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Sad loser with an inherited bondage fetish makes friends with injured snakes (gall bladder removed and served as delicacy) and they become his vehicle of vengeance. Shaw Bros. production with no kung fu, but lots of nudity and animals were probably harmed during the making of this film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Willard, Ben or Stanley - whatever this is a clone of, it is more messed up than ANY of those. Starring the Asian Anthony Perkins, this treads all sorts of SPCA boundaries with glee. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Hard to Beleive the Shaw Brothers had anything to do with this, should have been Snake Boy. 42nd Street Cinima comes to mind. To long and drawn out, got latenight nothing else on movies Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the strangest movies I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. It was a lot of fun, though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
