What a ssssssstrange movie....

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, let me start with the title... Sssssss? Who came up with that!? You can't expect me to talk to a friend and go like:

"Hey I saw a movie last night." "Cool, which one?" "Sssssss" "Excuse me?"

It just doesn't work!

Okay enough about that... Let's talk about the movie itself. I honestly don't know what to say about it. Well okay, it is rather unique.

It's part horror, part drama, part creature feature, part mystery.

The story is about a doctor who is an expert when it comes to snakes. He lives in a house with his daughter, who helps him in his experiments. I won't spoil the main plot, because it's what makes this movie what it is.

The acting is okay and the story develops at a steady pace with a few strange twists.

They used real snakes in this movie. They have the guts to say so right at the start of the movie. I respect the movie and the actors for working with the real deal.

Just for that reason I'm giving this movie 5 stars. Gonna add 1 more star for the creativity.

Sssssss is a strange, unique movie that's worth a watch when you get your hands on it, but don't expect an amazing masterpiece. It's an enjoyable film, but nothing more.
