Review – The Reptile

Ah, if only the English had never ventured into Asia. If Hammer horror movies are any indication, the British obsession with empire appears to have netted them little beyond a lot of really weird curses on their kids. This time around, our gentleman’s daughter has been transformed into a were-snake. The Reptile make-up is kinda cool by 60s-era special effects standards. Unfortunately, the plot is slow-moving, the characters uninteresting, and key Hammer staples (specifically Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing) are absent from this effort. I’ve seen worse movies about shape-shifting monsters, but I’ve seen better as well. Mildly amusing
