Curse II: The Bite
After a young man is bitten on the hand by a radioactive snake, his hand changes into a lethal snake head, which attacks everyone he comes into contact with. Also, his body becomes filled with snakes. Now, he must prevent himself from hurting others.
Why it matters
A schlocky late-’80s creature feature where body horror meets serpent-infused madness, delivering a wild, practical-effects-heavy ride that’s part mutation nightmare, part exploitation oddity.
- Practical effects by KNB Studios bring the grotesque snake-hand transformation to fever dream life.
- A cult favorite for fans of radioactive mutation and bizarre creature body horror — think David Cronenberg meets Roger Corman.
- Embraces its low-budget roots with unapologetic gore and absurdity, perfect for lovers of campy, off-kilter horror.
- More a curiosity than a classic, but its relentless weirdness and practical effects make it a must-see for diehard monster mash aficionados.
