Half woman - half snake!

Years ago, Dr. Franklyn (Noel William) antagonized a cult of snake worshippers who retaliated by performing a series of secret rituals on his daughter Anna (Jaqueline Pearce), transforming her into a reptile. Charles Spalding (David Baron) is the first of Anna's victims when he is invited to the Franklyn manor and attacked by the horrible creature - part woman, part reptile. What follows is a horrible string of events that terrorizes a village and leaves a young innocent couple grasping for the truth. Set in England's Cornwall district (although shot at Bray Studios near London), The Reptile combines a mystery plot recalling Bram Stoker's Lair of the White Worm, moments of sudden horror and an elegant title creature devised by Hammer's makeup ace Roy Ashton.
