Sssssss
David, a college student, is looking for a job. He is hired by Dr. Stoner as a lab assistant for his research and experiments on snakes. David also begins to fall for Stoner's young daughter, Kristina. However, the good doctor has secretly brewed up a serum that can transform any man into a King Cobra snake-and he plans to use it on David.
Critics Sentiment
Kristina discovers previous assistant as limbless snake-man at carnival
Stoner kills Dr. Daniels and feeds him to python
The film jumps from its lowest point during the predictable python feeding scene to its most effective moment with the disturbing carnival snake-man discovery.
Sssssss starts promisingly with mysterious atmosphere and Strother Martin's compelling villain performance, building decent suspense through the early transformation sequences. However, the film gradually loses steam as its absurd premise becomes more apparent, though it delivers one genuinely disturbing highlight with the carnival snake-man scene. The ending disappoints most viewers with its confusing resolution and questionable logic, leaving the film as a mixed but watchable B-movie curiosity.
