Half woman - half snake!

Overview

Harry and Valerie Spalding arrive in the remote Cornish village to an unwelcoming and suspicious population. Harry's brother dies suddenly, bitten by a lethal reptilian bite.

What they uncover is a victim of the most terrifying legacy... a destiny of mutilation and murder.
