Fear slithers straight up your spine in this notorious Shaw Brothers shocker from the director of The Boxer's Omen! Mocked and abused by everyone around him, a meek young man lives near a haven for reptiles and, upon discovering a wounded snake one night, discovers that he has a unique psychic bond with his cold-blooded neighbors. Impoverished and sexually frustrated, he's soon pushed to the breaking point by those around him and vows to unleash his fury in a perverse, delirious attack of scaly serpents like nothing you've ever seen!

Brutale Geschichte aus der Werkstatt der Shaw Brothers, in der ein ständig tyrannisierter junger Mann eine Armee giftiger Schlangen zähmt, die ihm bei der Pflege und Rettung vieler von ihnen hilft, um Rache zu nehmen: den Tod all seiner Feinde. Und so beginnt er die Straßen von Ganoven, Dieben und Nutten zu säubern... Brutalität, Gewalt und Erotik, oft alles zusammen: so "reichhaltig" ist zum Beispiel die Szene, in der es dem Helden gelingt, mehrere Schlangen in die Genitalien einer gefesselten Prostituierten zu stecken. Was jedoch die Gesamtqualität betrifft, ist der verwandte Film "The Calamity of Snakes" (1983) noch eine Klasse besser.

Even though at first glance you might think it's mainly about torture, you eventually discover that there's also a romantic dimension to it, so the movie kind of oscillates between genres. If you're into slightly more extreme films, then this definitely has something to offer you. The scenes with snakes are truly unbelievable and even today, they are hard to surpass. And it has a story!
