A doctor living with his wife who suffers from an illness of the mind is treating her with snake venom to cure her. One night his wife is uneasy and refusing the treatment worried about their unborn child and the damage it must be doing to the child. The doctor only cares about his research and is more than willing to sacrifice the lives of his wife and unborn child. During childbirth the wife dies but the child is saved but the doctor and midwife delivering the child are alarmed by the appearance of the child its stone cold with serpent like eyes the whole village is terrified and they are convinced they are cursed until the snake child is killed. When people start dying from poisonous snake bites the snake child is no longer a legend it becomes an evil cloud that hangs over the village.
A great little tale short and sweet with plenty of atmosphere the worst thing about this is the short runtime its only 67 minutes and it feels like its over before it began. There is nothing fancy no make up effects just a good film thats carried along nicely by strong acting and a great story. I was a little disappointed by the ending it was just too quick just like the film itself.
