Trivia

During the skinny dipping scenes, the producers superimposed foliage over the footage to obscure the "naughty bits" of Heather Menzies and Dirk Benedict, most likely to achieve a PG rating as opposed to an R rating. See more »

Great title, mediocre movie.
2 February 2004 | by See all my reviews

This movie is a bit of a throwback to 50's science fiction horror. It involves the mad scientist performing crazy experiments. It is rather interesting, but it needed more. Not much happens except the scientist turns his poor assistant into a snake creature. As the movie goes along he slowly changes. I think the scientist's daughter falls in love with the assistant and tries to find out what her dad is up to. I am guessing this movie is really short cause from what I remember; there really wasn't much else to it. Not too many scares and such. The ending is kind of funny though as you find out what a mongoose is best suited for. Somewhat interesting flick that just needed more depth to it. Maybe a killing or two more, anything to spice it up. The movie does have a good title though, very original.
