Clevercell Very disappointing...

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

GoneWithTheTwins The curse of the fertility goddess, Nagin, states that anytime man desecrates or violates the cobra, they are doomed to suffer the petrifying curse of the snake woman, involving death and infertility. Respect is the only cure. Over 4000 years ago the inhabitants of the Indus Valley in the Far East sculpted the image of the shape-shifting, half-human, half-cobra creatures residing in mysterious temples deep within the legendary spice forests off the Malabar Coast. George States (Jeff Doucette) isn't afraid of the legend, and journeys into the jungle to snag the mate of the Nagin, hoping the goddess will take human form, chase after him, and grant him immortality. Thanks to stage 3 brain cancer, he's delusional, homicidal, and makes as little sense as the movie does trying to explain the premise.George is successful in capturing the male cobra and returns to his stone lab where he waits for Nagin to appear. The goddess, played by Mallika Sherawat, takes many scenes to transform from snake into human, writhing in mud, sloughing off handfuls of gooey scales, tearing through molting net-like skin, and revealing human flesh. The makeup effects aren't entirely pathetic, demonstrating a similarity to the more impressive works in Species. It's the computer graphics later on, showing the transformation back into reptile that is particularly ridiculous. The reasons and methods for the mutations are never explained, nor are the various stages of snake/human hybrid metamorphosis. Sometimes Nagin will be completely human, or a small rubber snake, or monstrous cobra, or a woman with fangs and yellow eyes, or even a Gorgon-like mix, with snake body and human arms and head. The combination constantly changes and remains completely undefined.In the nearby village, the festival of colors, known as Holi, is being joyously celebrated, while a local detective (Irrfan Khan) and his wife (Divya Dutta) try unsuccessfully to have a child. The festival is an easy opportunity to throw in the standard song and dance sequences expected from a Bollywood production. When Nagin appears to dance with the natives, two drunken men kidnap her. She acts like a child unfamiliar with her surroundings, more naive than Mowgli, and never utters a word (throughout the entire film, in fact). The ensuing attempted assault results in both men being mutilated and eaten, derivative of the more memorable scenes in Anaconda. She continues to seek out her lover (an incredibly fake snake held in a glass case, periodically electrocuted for fun by States), murder various offenders and abusive men she stumbles across, and hunt down the participants in the original expedition that ended in the male cobra's capture. Meanwhile, the detective tries to solve the string of killings, noticing that each body contains an excessive amount of venom."This is some weird sh_t," exclaims the morgue doctor as he performs an autopsy on a mangled body, so horribly disfigured that a cell phone must be cut out of the middle of the mess. His blurb sums up Hisss, a movie that is purposely weird and terribly dull, full of brutal violence for the sake of including bloodshed, horribly plain dialogue, gratuitous nudity from random, busty extras, and pitiful special effects. While most will be pleased with Sherawat's constant state of nakedness, the editing actually tries every trick in the book to hide, obscure or cover her so that she's never seen clearly (suggestive silhouettes at best). Hisss is an embarrassment to horror films, monster movies, the Indians it portrays, and the filmmakers at its helm. It's no wonder director Jennifer Chambers Lynch (daughter of David Lynch) is rumored to have disowned it after the producers took away creative control during editing.GoneWithTheTwins.com

m_uthman The movie seems a joke coming from a director who has made Boxing Helena, this movie is even lower then the standards of combing Hollywood and Bollywood B-grade movies. Just the name of Hollywood and the director is the daughter of David Lynch, If one doesn't expect master piece at least a decent effort, which it not even disappoints in every aspect of film making but make you puck. Its seems the director was asleep while making this crap which has awful special effects, no story, no acting and not even a single plus point that goes in its favor to be mentioned.Irfan Khan is totally wasted and why the hell did he agree to work in this joke of a movie, Mallika has no dialogs only partial nudity in dozens. The snake seems like a puppet and the rest I have no words to explain what a awful and crappy movie this is, avoid it no matter what or else regret it your whole life.

Shyam Narayanan TK (ShyamNTK) Hisss is not at all a great movie, but it is not the worst one too!! There have been more worse films than Hisss, In fact, it is a watchable one, in my opinion. It is not so convincing at several places, but still we can watch it. It certainly has more standards than a B-grade movie. Hiss could have been much better if the director worked a little more harder on the script. Also, the place where it is taking place arises many confusions. In one scene, we can see 'Amrita TV' news reporters and an old woman speaking Malayalam, indicating that it takes place in Kerala. But, all other common people speak Hindi only.Mallika Sherawat did her role well, her snake-teeth is not looking much original, though!! Irrfan Khan was okay, and all others were alright. The lovemaking scene between Ms. Sherawat and the Snake was very funny!! :P On the whole, it is a one-time watch, at least when the DVD comes

deepeshdeomurari Hisss is slightly different Bollywood movie with a Hollywood taste. It differs from Naagin,Nagine series as movie is based on facts and realistic approach. It is very simple horror movie. After watching the movie, your head will be totally blank as in.. it is difficult to comment whether movie is good or bad. It is obvious that when naagin(snake) is converted into human(which can transform into human),she will be nude. You will be impressed with Mallika's body(may be the best in Bollywood), even though I believe movie don't portray nudity. Love making with a snake is bit odd. In short, Positives: light humor, music, concept, special effects, Mallika's body specially street light scene, scary scenes, acting(both Mallika and Irfan) and very important one: you will not feel bored.Negative: Very simple script, again exposing poverty in India, poor acting of supporting staff, broken screenplay, low budget impacts.If we give smooth flow to all the scenes then it will be far better.. I believe "The best" is saved for Hollywood release.
