This Hammer horror classic is set in Cornwall, where the village folk are dying from mysterious snakebites. Nearby a young woman suffers under a curse which regularly transforms her into a reptile. Made at Bray studios, on the same sets that were used for Plague of the Zombies. (StudioCanal UK)
Reviews (1)
The Reptile isn't a great piece of British horror, but it fits in quite nicely with the style that the Hammer studio had in the 1960s. Unfortunately, this is a film that met the needs of the studio in terms of quantity rather than quality. Nevertheless, it can be said that the mask of the main villain is quite decent and can still captivate even after more than fifty years.
