Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I've recently, as in only a few hours ago per this writing, viewed this film, and honestly, the terrible reviews I've read here on IMDb are simply unacceptable.So unacceptable, that for the first time, I'm writing a review of a film, here.The entire film, though not a stunningly "Hollywood" style explosion of special effects, has some that do it's budget credit. The transitions from a physical effect to one computer-generated are a little rough, but the story certainly does not need it.The visuals, the actual sights and sounds of the country are unrelentingly natural, and all the more disturbing and beautiful because they are real. The image, without spoiling anything, of a very young child squatting with his bare bottom over an open sewer while police run past pursuing a suspect, who is also being pursued by a barefoot snake- goddess, polarizes the film. Images of painful reality, the filth of humanity compacted into a city, alongside the beauty of nature, the drives of revenge against man's degradations, and the marvelous colors are woven together skillfully.One of the most delicate, touching and lovely scenes is the interaction between the mother-in-law and her daughter, in the kitchen, just after the dinner. Those two women are beautiful together, I'd believe they are, in fact, blood relatives who do care for each other.Enjoy the film, the characters and make your own decision.

This movie was the worst piece of garbage I have seen in quite a while. Who the hell actually funds this crap? And they got a director from Hollywood who has absolutely no clue what she was doing. They could have found someone from an Indian film school to put in a better and more honest effort. And the makeup/creature and CGI effects were dreadful. Even some third world countries have better special effects on their TV shows. And damn, the dialog, the acting, and the absolutely stupid characters made me want to kill them myself. I don't think there was anything in this movie at all that was worth watching. Seriously, it is not too difficult to make a decent film. In fact it is harder to make one that is so awful. Perhaps, in that case, congrats to the filmmakers.

I just watched this utter disgrace of cinema last night. Didn't expect this from Jennifer Lynch. Irfan Khan was the only reason i gave this movie 1 out of 10. This was horrendous, the plot was laughable apart from Irfan Khan every actor was terrible. May be someone would like to see Malika Sherawat nude hence they gave this piece of train-wreck more then 1 star & frankly there was nothing below zero, thats the only logical reason i could come up with this one. It was utter torture. They should have donated money to a charity rather then to make this BAD BAD BAD BAD piece of film making. Stay away from this thing. I wish i could get the time back (90 minutes or so) i spend on watching this back in my life :(

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
