**_A serum that turns people into snakes_** A modern Frankenstein-type (Strother Martin) experiments with snakes and human beings in the desert hills of Southern California. David (Dirk Benedict) is hired by Dr. Stoner (Martin) as a lab assistant after his previous lab assistant mysteriously went missing. As the youth falls in love with Stoner's daughter, Kristina (Heather Menzies), the doctor begins injecting David with some king of snake serum. Released in 1973, the curiously titled "SSSssss" is a pretty decent horror flick that has the early 70s written all over it, but I can't give it a higher rating because it comes off as a TV movie more than a theatrical release. Remember the TV movie "Gargoyles" from 1972? "SSSssss" has the same tone and look, but it's not as good even though it was theatrically released. Why? Because "Gargoyles" has a better topic and, at only 74 minutes, it lacks the padding of "SSSssss." Still, there's enough good in "SSSssss" to make it worthwhile for those who like these kinds of movies. There are a couple of carnival scenes, which are always good for horror flicks. Martin is effective as the mad doctor and Reb Brown as a pompous jock, but Benedict and Menzies come off bland as the youthful lovers. Then again, they're playing intellectual college nerds so I'm sure that's how their characters were written. Nevertheless, IMHO Menzies is pretty forgettable here; she's better in 1977's "Piranha." Kathleen King plays the only notable woman, but her part isn't much more than a cameo. Needless to say, bad job on the female front. The film runs 99 minutes and, although there is no listing on IMDb, it was obviously shot in the greater Los Angeles area. GRADE: C+
