A Malayan curse turns the daughter (Jacqueline Pearce) of a 19th-century English doctor (Noel Willman) into a snake woman in this 1966 horror film made by Hammer Film Productions and directed by John Gilling. It was filmed back to back with The Plague of the Zombies, and used many of the same sets (including exterior shots in the grounds of Oakley Court near Bray, Berkshire) and cast, namely Pearce and Michael Ripper. It's a slower and moodier film than its companion-piece but still delivers its fair share of shocks. Pearce in particular is pretty scary looking in her Reptile make-up which she hated wearing as she suffered from claustrophobia, the actress vowing never to wear "creature" make-up again. The film was released on a double feature with Rasputin, the Mad Monk.
