Mistakenly referred to as the sequel to Nang-Nak (Ghost Wife), which also stars Winai Kraibutr, Snaker is actually an expansion of the long lost Cambodian film Puos Keng Kang. Blending elements of the horror-fantasy genre with a romantic folk tale, the film's mythic narrative begins with an unhappily married peasant woman who is seduced by the Snake King. When her vengeful husband finds out, he slits her open, releasing hundreds of snakes. One escapes, however, and grows into a beautiful girl...with a head of live serpents and a cursed future. One of the rare films made in Cambodia since the Khmer Rouge regime, Snaker is "a landmark in the cultural redevelopment of the country" (Illuminated Lantern). In Thai and Mandarin with English subtitles.
