'Curse of Snakes Valley' is a perfect cult adventure movie made in the vein of Indiana Jones. The movie explores quite grand ideas but poorly developed screenplay and uneven directing turns it into a mess. Enjoyable mess, that is. There is nothing wrong with ambiguous endings, but only when these are masterfully directed. I understand that the budget wasn't very big, but it also seem that the writers didn't have quite clear clue where they wanted to go with their ideas. There are many scenes in the movie just so the rest of the movie can happen. Some things could have used more explanation. Characters are all one dimensional

A lot of the stuff was unintentionally hilarious, and not all special effects have aged well (still, I prefer poor practical effects over poor CGI), but the story is interesting. Action scenes are modest, to say the least. Real locations help to improve the overall atmosphere of the movie. But what's most important - the film wasn't boring. It was exciting and I had a lot of fun watching this movie.

I still remember that movie, watched it atnight - and could not sleep all night! Well that was at 1995, but memory still fresh

When it first came out and was on Russian cinema screens, we all ran to watch it as it seemed to be so superbly executed, so well done. Now, after a while, it is virtually impossible to watch it without laughter. Take note, the plot is very good. The trio of adventurous pals, a man who is a scientist, a fine lady and a former military pilot are in the Tibetian jungles looking for some mysterious vase that holds a metal container that is of no mundane origin. Then, after a series of head-breaking dangers, this container gets to the lab and reveals its horrid demolishing might. But mind you, if this were a Hollywood film, with, say, Sean Connery, Hillary Swank and somebody else in the cast, and with real video effects, than it would work out well. Here, we see incredibly weak actors (polish stars of medium level), unbelievably bad cartoon effects, so bad that you must rub your eyes in total amazement! And the phrases! The dialogs are so pompous, so puffy and pretentious (like, "We really must take care of the Earth", or "This will bring danger to the whole humankind"), and the way they are delivered is so false, that again you have to wipe your eyes as you'd been laughing so hard. In fact, this film was conceived a fairly serious work of some epic scale, and as a result it is now a first-rate comedy both in Poland and Russia. People watch it for hearty laughs. There is a cute fact that this film, Klatwa Doliny Wezy, was included in the list of All-time-worst Polish films ever made, and was shown on the 2002's festival of such films. Anyway, watch it for good mood and many hearty laughs. Such badly made films are a rarity these days...

I was interested in this film because genius composer Sven Grunberg composed his brilliant score for this title. Sven is famous for his analogue electronic music back to 70s. Sven even made instruments by himself, so he sounds really awesome. Concerning the film it is a fantastic mixture of adventure, mystery, far east buddism and sci fi.

If you like Indiana Jones , cannibal movies and all those mystic exotic jungle stories with supernatural sequences- do not loose this one. No doubt -this one is masterpiece and has perfect plot and rather good for eastern Europe 80s special effects.
