    This snake represents a shift towards passion and working with animals that truly intrigue and challenge us! On top of that he’s absolutely amazing looking! Our son has also been watching the Sponge Bob movie if you can’t tell! #markhamreptiles #whitelippedpython #animals #snake #reptile

    Might revisit Plague of the Zombies later. I think I recognised the interior manor house in The Witches recycled as the home of John Carson's sinister squire, I know they also used the same set in The Reptile. Hammer was way ahead of the curve concerning sustainability in the film industry..!

    #justwatched The Reptile (1966), a hammer film shown alongside Plague of the Zombies. A couple moves to a house in the country that is associated with a number of mysterious deaths... A very enjoyable film, with an understated, stately air. Michael Ripper gave a standout performance. #horrorsky

    #NowWatching The Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch (D:Noriaki Yuasa, 1968) "like Taste of Fear, mixed in with the The Reptile, but for kids! It resembles one long children’s nightmare, but that’s like calling Jaws a fishing trip. It’s a nightmare bordering on full-on Japanese horror film."

    The OG's Liu Kang Vs REPTILE (you just heard the techno kick in) fight is one of my favorite movie fights all about a character getting so pissed off that they end up kicking the hell out of physics and not just their opponent. That flying bicycle kicking! The new ones are okay, I guess.

    The rest of the main cast should of course be represented, but for characters like say Blanka I think their fans will be fine if their sole appearance is a really cool memorable fight scene. That's what Reptile was in the first MK and it was one of the most iconic and beloved scenes in the film.

We are all pleased to note that #Rabies is a virus carried only by #mammals and since the #tortoise (American: #turtle ) is a #reptile you will not catch that off it. I expect all will be well. Whether the #poikilothermic nature is the deciding factor, or it is an incompatibility of cellular machinery I don't know, but I'd think more likely the latter.

    It'll probably always be the 90's Mortal Kombat movie. It pretty much understood the assignment, like with the Reptile vs. Liu Kang fight, which serves no purpose and is just a secret fight, but is so perfect for a MK movie.

    Agreed on all points, sir! Gilling had the knack of getting the best from both his budget and actors, and while this may not quite reach the dizzy heights of his Plague of the Zombies or The Reptile it's no exception. Great stuff, and the last Hammer film shot at the iconic Bray Studios.
