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. "Curse II" is not only poorly made, but is also boring as watching paint dry. There are some gruesome parts, and screaming mad George's special effects range from really bad to acceptable, but the script is awful, the acting is so-so, and the music is extremely annoying. Don't watch 'Curse 2: the bite". it's a typical excuse for a sequel. (By the way, what does this have to do with the original?) 2-2.5/10.

This is never explained but i borrowed that line partially from the movie The Reptile (1966).

Also can someone tell me what was the deal with the gas station attendant n his hidden creature?

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs n didn't enjoy it then. In fact, i still find part one better.

This one is very boring.

The first kill happens around the 55th min n that too nothing scary or gory bah it. The effects are very lousy and add to it the atrocious editing where u can't make out wots going on.

While the first part was based on Color Out Of Space, this one doesn't have anything to do with the first part or the book.

The lead female character is so mean that she leaves the small girl all alone in the house knowing that the girl's parents are killed by her boyfriend's hand cum snake.

In Stepfather, Jill Schoelen was 24 but she played a 16 year old in it and her nudity was a put off n uncalled for.

But here in Curse 2 we dont get to see her nude inspite of an offscreen sex scene n a lousy shower scene.

The plot - A man is bitten by a snake and somehow his bitten hand undergoes transformation into a hideous snake monster, which kills everyone who comes closer to him. The man tries to run away from his girlfriend to protect her but the girlfriend pursuits him n puts herself in danger while the local sheriff, his deputies n the town's doctor (Pinocchio nose fella) wants to track and destroy the monster once and for all.

The movie has a lil gore but tension, suspense, atmosphere is totally missing.

I have always been a big fan of Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather). When I found out she was in this film I had to rent it. It's not the best film. But I didn't think it was the worse either.

some of the things that didn't work for me included the cheesy music that came on when ever there was an attack and some of the scenes could have been shot a little better. The film tends to drag.

Highlights in the film were the lovely Jill Schoelen as Lisa. I enjoyed seeing her sing and play the guitar. She is decent with the role of Lisa. J. Eddie Peck is easy on the eyes as Clark. There is some decent gore considering the low budget. The ending is really good. It's worth a look for the special effects or anyone who likes Jill Schoelen.

Great movie. Alot of fun. The people who hate this movie are all idiots. Don't listen to them. Snakes rule!

UK title - The Bite. A young couple driving across the American Southwest are warned by a gasoline attendant not to take a short cut through a former military testing ground. Naturally they ignore hit advice and the guy ends up getting bitten by a snake. Over the course of the movie he slowly mutates into a gross half man half snake creature. The acting is pretty good and there are some interesting characters but at the end of the day The Bite is all about special effects. Screaming Mad George provided them here, and does a great job. However, most of these come near the end of the film, it is a bit of a slow burn until then. I watched this on VHS, it is a classic example of great sleeve artwork, which entices the viewing to watch the movie, but ultimately the end result is not quite so great. Does have a sufficient amount of Bite though to make it worthwhile.
