Snake People, also known as Isle of the Snake People, is a 1971 Mexican horror movie directed by Juan Ibáñez and written by Jack Hill. The movie stars Boris Karloff, Julissa, and Carlos East. The plot revolves around a group of people who become stranded on a mysterious island full of snakes and strange rituals. Boris Karloff plays Carl van Molder, an eccentric millionaire who owns the island and its plantation. He is also the leader of a cult that worships serpent gods and conducts bizarre ceremonies involving human sacrifices.

Julissa plays Annabella, a young woman who gets stranded on the island with her boyfriend and a group of other tourists. They soon realize that they are not alone and that someone or something is watching them. Carlos East plays Juanito, one of the island's native inhabitants who helps the group survive and escape from the clutches of the snake people.

As the group tries to find a way off the island, they encounter a variety of terrifying and bizarre challenges. They witness ritual sacrifices, encounter deadly snakes, and are pursued by the snake people themselves. Throughout the movie, the tension builds as the group tries to uncover the truth behind the island and its mysterious inhabitants.

One of the standout elements of the movie is the incredible set design and atmosphere. The island is shrouded in mist, and all the buildings and structures have an eerie and otherworldly feel to them. The movie was clearly made on a limited budget, but the filmmakers make the most of what they have, using creative camera angles and lighting techniques to create a sense of claustrophobia and impending doom.

Another highlight of the movie is the performance of Boris Karloff. Even though he was in his 80s at the time of filming, Karloff still manages to bring an intense and unsettling presence to the movie. His character is both fascinating and repulsive, and his scenes are some of the most memorable in the movie.

In terms of the horror elements, the movie is relatively tame by modern standards. There is some violence and gore, but most of the horror comes from the atmosphere and the sense of unease that permeates the movie. The snake people themselves are not particularly scary or menacing, but they do contribute to the overall sense of dread that hangs over the movie.

Overall, Snake People is a fascinating and unique horror movie that deserves more recognition than it has received. Despite its flaws, it is an entertaining and atmospheric movie that is well worth seeking out for horror fans and fans of Boris Karloff.

Snake People is a 2008 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.4.
