The Hungry Snake Woman [Mondo Macabro] Blu-ray Review
Sisworo Gautama Putra directed Jaka Sembung, which I positively reviewed, and continued to make insane Indonesian movies. “The Hungry Snake Woman” is no exception.

The 93-minute film features a lot of strange characters in “Small Town, U.S.A”. Opening with the narrator, a kindly old man with a…

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most celebrated and studied directors in film history.
