____________________

John McCarthy is a Scotland yard inspector who investigates a series of weird murders committed on the Scottish moors during the 19th Century. The killer turns out to be lovely Susan Travers . . . but she's not so lovely when she transforms into a cobra, a fate bequeathed to her by her father, who injected her mother with snake venom — which is a little like saying she turned into a kitchen sink because she was injected with Drain-O.

Not especially well made, and obscure for that reason. Directed by Sidney J. Furie.

No deadly cobras were harmed in the filming of this motion picture.

My runaway choice for worst British horror film. Maybe worst ever. Certainly the worst from the Hammer era, say 1955-1980.

I saw this on its original double-feature release. Takes quite a special movie to make DR. BLOOD'S COFFIN look good. That's how special THE SNAKE WOMAN is.
