A lot of mumbo-jumbo concerning a centuries-old mythological monster that just happens to reappear in the late 1800's with no rhyme or reason. It's just a good "chase-the-monster" silly romp from Hammer Films. The monster is very "cheesy"-looking and low-tech. I swear I can see the puppet strings on the snakes. However, that is what makes the old-school "horror" genre so much fun. Like Lawrence Talbot's wolf-man rant, nobody in the movie, for the most part, believes that the monster exists. It's not really that scary, but 'tis good popcorn fodder, like the early "Universals".
