Curse II: The Bite1989
“Sometimes the Body Has A Mind of Its Own.”
Directed by Frederico Prosperi
The premise
After a young man is bitten on the hand by a radioactive snake, his hand changes into a lethal snake head, which attacks everyone he comes into contact with. Also, his body becomes filled with snakes. Now, he must prevent himself from hurting others.
Horror Vault's take
A road trip through the American Southwest takes a nightmarish turn when a young man suffers a venomous bite from a radioactive snake — and the wound proves to be anything but ordinary. What begins as a simple injury rapidly escalates into a grotesque transformation that threatens everyone around him. Equal parts creature feature and body-horror nightmare, this late-80s cult oddity leans hard into practical effects and escalating dread. Despite sharing a title with its predecessor, this stands as its own slimy, serpentine beast.
