He's absolutely smitten with the slithering species, keeping numerous examples both poisonous and benign in his private "snakery." At the dinner table, another visitor relates a story raising an interesting question: we know a man can "charm" a snake, but can a snake hypnotize a man? That matter takes on an unpleasant, unexpected urgency once young Mr. Brayton retires to his guest room for the night. A slow-burning thriller with a most effective climax and big parting twist, this featurette is a companion piece to THE RETURN, director Sture Rydman's other adaptation of a macabre Victorian-era story by Ambrose Bierce. - Dennis Harvey See less
