'Curse of Snakes Valley' is a perfect cult adventure movie made in the vein of Indiana Jones. The movie explores quite grand ideas but poorly developed screenplay and uneven directing turns it into a mess. Enjoyable mess, that is. There is nothing wrong with ambiguous endings, but only when these are masterfully directed. I understand that the budget wasn't very big, but it also seem that the writers didn't have quite clear clue where they wanted to go with their ideas. There are many scenes in the movie just so the rest of the movie can happen. Some things could have used more explanation. Characters are all one dimensional
A lot of the stuff was unintentionally hilarious, and not all special effects have aged well (still, I prefer poor practical effects over poor CGI), but the story is interesting. Action scenes are modest, to say the least. Real locations help to improve the overall atmosphere of the movie. But what's most important - the film wasn't boring. It was exciting and I had a lot of fun watching this movie.
