    The Curse of Snake Valley

    ★★½

    If you are big fan of bad films and someone from anglosphere, you'll probably get here something great, although there's a context.

    Snake Award, which is relatively close to Golden Raspberry in Poland, was named after this film. And I generally think, it's easy to laugh at Piestrak works.

    Marek Piestrak, I love you, but here you showed your bad, horny side. There is slang polish term: spermiarz or le spermiage, which means someone who constatntly and obsessively thinking about sex in rather unpleasant and awful way. This film and its story feels like only justification for erotic scenes. And it's a shame, because despite first movie, Wilczyca got infamy, it was really interesting way to settle romantic tradition of polish culture and deception of sexuality, male as well…
