I love this movie! British colonialist who served in India is cursed by a powerful sorcerer who dooms his daughter to turn into a king cobra at certain astrological phases of the moon. Villagers are dying from a terrible malady that resembles the black plague. Politically incorrect? Maybe, but it's an atmospheric Hammer masterpiece, who prove that even with a limited budget, you can make a compelling story. The sitar scene makes it worth watching (Incidentally, this movie came out in 1966, the same year the Beatles introduced the sitar to a wider audience of fans.) Synergistic? Could be.
