Review of Sssssss

Sssssss (1973)
5/10
What's up with the bushes?
23 June 2006
Warning: Spoilers
An impressive cast that includes Tim O'Connor of Buck Rogers In the 25th Century fame and Dirk Benedict of Battlestar Galatica (original) and the A-Team fame. The effects were impressive, although, I would like to see a snake man with arms. But the thing that gets my goat about the whole movie, the thing that takes a pretty decent movie and flushes it almost entirely down the toilet is the censorship. Let me explain. There is two things that might have had nudity, one where they skinny dipped and they superimposed leaves and branches over everything, then after love making, they got out of bed and they superimposed a bed headboard. Why? It was 1973 PG, that time period brief nudity was allowed. Other movies like LEGEND TO HELL HOUSE had nudity and it stayed PG. PLANET OF THE APES showed a bare butt and it was rated G! So that can't be the reason, if Dirk or Heather had a problem with nudity, then they should either got another actor or just forgot the whole scene. It was stupid and because of that I give SSSSSS a mere 5 STARS!
