Product Description

Strother Martin and Dirk Benedict star in this eerie tale of a respected snake expert who masks a frightening desire to transmute a man into a king cobra. Realizing that his new lab assistant, David (Benedict), is the perfect specimen, the demented doctor begins administering to him injections of "immunization serum." Soon, David begins experiencing strange and disturbing side effects: his skin is shedding while his body shape is changing. But before he realizes the horrible truth, the metamorphosis from human to serpent has begun.

Dr. Stoner is a Modern Frankenstein/Hitler
4 Stars
Dr. Stoner is a Modern Frankenstein/Hitler
Watching "Sssssss," along with "Frogs," on television in the mid-seventies fueled my interest in snakes and other reptiles. I almost became a herpetologist. Instead, I owned several species of frogs, lizards, and non-poisonous kingsnakes throughout my life. Dr. Stoner, the mad scientist of "Sssssss" reminds me of a combination of Frankenstein and Hitler. He wants to create a new, more perfect race of humans - a race that will survive the coming fuel and food shortages. He sees himself as God, creating new life. In fact, there are several Biblical paintings throughout his home depicting Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden and the Serpent tempting them with fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. His lab assistant, David, and his daughter, Kristina, remind me of Adam and Eve. Dr. Stoner is more like the Serpent than he is God. He seeks to create new life by destroying life that already exists. And he will kill anyone who tries to get in his way. The movie is nicely paced with creative death sequences. I would've given "Sssssss" five stars if the cobra bites had actually been seen rather than suggested. The ending reminds me of the one in "Night of Dark Shadows" when Kate Jackson sees her transformed husband and the ghost of Angelique and screams hysterically nonstop because she realizes the hopelessness of the situation. Incidentally, "Night of Dark Shadows" also involves a transformation of a human into something meant for an evil person's pleasure.
