A Review Of Stanley Slithers Into DarkSider's Realm

[Mr. DS]

Stanley is a tale of a guy who trains snakes to do his dirty work.  Much like Willard minus the rats.  A friend found me this one in a dollar store.  Pure obsure lousy film bliss awaits those who can find it.

Oddly, I think that "Willard" was a much better film.  What I remember of "Stanley" was that they kept harping on how bad it would be for certain people if one guy had a rattlesnake guardian angel.  Good point on the human acting when the first billed character is an animal.  Still, you have to admit that if they made a Lassie film, but replaced the dog with a python or alligator, it could be interesting.  Especially if the antagonist element turned out to be a pack of wild dogs.

I like the way you think.  Better yet, what if it was a supergroup of wild dogs with the likes of Rin Tin Tin & Benji at the helm.

Well, there was that WILLARD sequel BEN. No heroic gators, but a friendly, sympathetic rat.

I think some white dude sang the title song.

There were a couple of 70's movies featuring "The Amazing Doberman Gang" about a pack of Doberman Pinschers trained to rob banks and mug for the camera. 

This seemed like as good a place as any to mention that. 


The "EXCITING FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!" included some sex, nudity, bloody dog attacks, drugs, etc.

Heh, Stanley's committed a lot of murders in cinema history hasn't he?


The films seems more a tribute to JENNIFER than Willard, seeing as they share the same animal they have a creepy hold over, but then Jennifer is more like Carrie and all...
