Sssssss

Sssssss (1973) is an American science-fiction horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Bernard L. Kowalski builds from a simple, quietly disturbing premise: a herpetologist with a god complex and a new formula, and a lab assistant who doesn't know what's being injected into him.

David (Dirk Benedict, before Battlestar Galactica made him famous) signs on with Dr. Stoner (Strother Martin) as a research hand, falls for Stoner's daughter Kristina, and misses every warning sign. The doctor has developed a serum that transforms a man into a King Cobra. Live snakes appear throughout the film — a practical decision in 1973 that happens to make the whole thing considerably harder to watch. Slow-burn body horror from an era that did it without digital assistance. Stream Sssssss online on iFILM.
