In the 70s there was lots of nature run amok films. Stuff like Grizzly,Jaws and the film I am talking about today.
Our lead is a Native American Nam vet.After coming back from the war he moved into the Florida Everglades and starts training snakes to obey his commands. He also uses the snakes to help the local hospital get anti venom.
So once two poachers start coming into the Everglades,who are also connected to the man our lead suspects of killing his father the shit hits the fan. One of my favorite scenes is when both the poachers are stuck in some quicksand and our lead sends in Stanley to kill them. Stanley is his favorite snake. And in lots of ways their relationship reminds me of the original Willard film.
I am a bit surprised this film isn't a bigger cult hit. It is full of wacky stuff that normally help film gain cult status. Just for the scenes of a stripper biting the heads off huge snakes I would think this movie would have a pretty big following.
Before this set came out from Mill Creek,BCI Eclipse released an extras packed version of Stanley.The same print of the film is used for this set. But all the extras are gone. But this was a 12 film set that normally was selling for 5 to 7 bucks.
Stanley gets a C.
