By all accounts, Hisss was a massive trainwreck. David Lynch’s daughter Jennifer Lynch went to India to film a Bollywood monster movie, and wound up disowning her own film. She also joined Terry Gilliam in the small club of directors who had major documentaries made about their filmmaking disasters.
But at least we can enjoy some of the cheesetastic “snake goddess” action from the film — like this scene, where a mute woman is getting harrassed by two guys. (Or really by one guy — the other one is more obsessed with watching Baywatch, and saying weirdly self-aware things like, “I enjoy my act.”) And then she sheds her skin and turns into a massive snake woman, and then into an even more massive snake — swallowing one of the guys whole. The ludicrous special effects and massive amounts of gore only make the whole thing more lovely. Enjoy!
