Enough distinctive elements to engage horror genre enthusiasts, but the humorous snake scenes detract from its overall impact

I recently watched Fangs (1974) on Shudder. The storyline follows an old hermit on the outskirts of town who keeps to himself and takes care of his pet snakes. When he's down on his luck and asks for help from the townspeople they turn their backs on him. He decides to use his snakes to go on a killing spree.Directed by Art Names in his inaugural directorial project, the film stars Les Tremayne (War of the Worlds), Janet Wood (Foul Play), Bebe Kelly (The Streets of San Francisco), and Alice Nunn (Minnie Dearest).This is a unique movie with a solid villain and premise. The soundtrack, cars, and cinematography authentically capture the era, providing a grindhouse vibe. There are captivating scenes, including some with dancing ladies. However, the snake bite scenes tend to be more comical than thrilling, often featuring characters in tighty whities pretending to be scared of snakes.In conclusion, Fangs is a mediocre to bad addition to the horror genre. It has enough distinctive elements to engage genre enthusiasts, but the humorous snake scenes detract from its overall impact. I would rate it a 4/10 and recommend a one-time viewing.

Campy and Funny

I actually own this film. Why is a unique story in itself, but suffice to say, I found it to be a funny camp movie. Of course it's bad. It's made in the 70's with a $100 or so budget and employs all the locals around Oak Glen/Cherry Valley California. Hysterically funny every time Snakey drives the SAME CAR off the cliff and marches back to town. I am surprised this has not shown up in midnight movie houses complete with characters in costume.Some familiar faces show up in this movie and while you've seen them before in bigger better flicks, there is no comparison for the "acting" job done here. Why, doesn't every town in CA have an old codger who collects snakes from the local school children? Ya gotta love Snakey. Hey Snakes are people too!
