Sssssss. 1973.

A college student David, takes on a job of lab assistant to Dr. Stoner and is injected with a serum that slowly transforms him into a snake, Can David and Dr. Stoner's daughter Kristina stop Stoner and find a cure.

This is one of those films where man becomes, beast, predator creature films instead man becomes snake, despite the title and plot, this film does have a serious tone to it and can be tense in some parts. Strother Martin takes the role as the mad Doctor type who wants to cross genetic breed with man and snake. Dirk Benedict plays David and reluctant guinea pig and Heather Menzies-Urich as Kristina who is aware of what's happening but is been told lies by her father.

The acting may not be greatest as it can go up and down but the main feature is the real snakes that were used, just remember the time period when this film was made and how some studios budgets were, this is defiantly worth a watch.
