MOVIE SUMMARY
Burhan, desperate for wealth and glory, decides to visit the
Snake Woman, a mysterious and powerful deity who can confer instant
riches on those who obey her commands. She tells Burhan he must kill
three women, feast on their blood and eat their breasts. Transformed
into Dracula, with cloak and fangs, he sets off on his mission. One
killing is all he can take before abandoning the task. He encounters
Nyi Lajang, the Snake Woman’s enemy, a half human/half snake
creature. Nyi Lajang offers Burhan a way out of his contract with
the Snake Woman. She gives him a silver pin that he must stab Snake
Woman with during sex while she is in human form. This will turn her
back into a snake and neutralise all her magical powers.
This is what Burhan does. But his problems are far from over...
One of the wildest and craziest Indonesian horror films ever made,
Hungry Snake Woman is a phantasmagorical ride through a world of
cannibal slave maidens, chainsaw wielding heroes, a possessed go-go
dancer, exploding rib cages, bizarre black magic spells, a dash of
kung fu fighting, buckets of gore, and even a little bit of sex,
featuring the legendary Suzzanna, Indonesia’s “queen of horror.”
This is a US video premiere and a world premiere on Blu-ray,
digitally restored from the original negative. The disc includes the
rare English language version of the film. Hungry Snake Woman is
directed by Sisworo Gautama Putra, who also gave us the films
Primitives and The Warrior, both starring Indonesian super star
Barry Prima.
