The Philippines is known for a lot of things; great horror film production not being one of them. Black Mamba is a cheaply made and tediously put together horror that fails to capitalise on its promising premise and delivers only headache inducing boredom. The plot focuses on witchcraft and in particular a doctor who falls in love with a pretty young woman, and ends up trying to stop the local witch from terrorising her. Everything about the film is completely amateur and dull. The acting is flat and the delivery of lines is extremely wooden. The film also offers nothing in the cinematography departments and the story doesn't flow well either; all a major turnoff. Of course, there are many people out there that enjoy these poorly made bad movies - but even they are likely to find this one lacking because for all the bad things about it, nothing is actually comically bad and since the film runs at snail pace; it's never very entertaining. It really only took about fifteen minutes for me to completely lose interest in the film and the next seventy five were utter torture. I really would struggle to find even a single good thing to say about Black Mamba and obviously I don't recommend it.
