Green Snake (1993)
4/10
Bizarre Movie
12 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Not being a Chinese cinema fetishist like many of the posters here, I can't see what the attraction is...

The movie is this bizarre about two snake demons who try to find love with human men. This brings them into conflict with a Bhuddist Monk and a Taoist priest. (Is there some weird interplay between Bhuddism and Daoism I am missing here...) The movie acts as though there is real power behind these faiths, and the Demons are real as well...but the holy men seem to be cast as the bad guys. Imagine The Exorcist told from Pazuzu's point of view...

The two actresses are hot, particularly in the early scenes, but beyond that, everything seems quite repetitive and slow moving.
