Director and cast of the Bollywood Creature Feature HISSS to appear at the FANGORIA WEEKEND OF HORRORS show in Los Angeles on April 18th

“She’s sexy… venomous… and she’ll swallow you whole…” HISSS, the first Bollywood creature feature made by an American director, is set to strike at it’s core audience at the upcoming Los Angeles FANGORIA’S WEEKEND OF HORRORS event next week at the LA Convention Center on Saturday, April 18th.

Director Jennifer Lynch (BOXING HELENA, SURVEILLANCE), seductive Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat (MURDER), F/X master Robert Kurtzman (FROM DUSK TIL DAWN, ARMY OF DARKNESS), the film’s villainous American star Jeff Doucette (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES), producer Govind Menon and co-producer Will Keenan will all be appearing at the show for a special panel discussion where they will unveil never-before-seen clips and afterwards sign autographs at the official FANGORIA booth for the hordes of fans in attendance.

HISSS is a modern day retelling of the ancient tale of the ichhadahari nagin (snake woman) and follows a ruthless American, fascinated by the ancient folklore of the mythical creature, who travels to the jungles of India to discover the truth. He finds and captures the nagin’s mate for the magical powers of its nagmani, a mythical gem embedded in its hood. The nagin then transforms into a gorgeous femme fatale and follows him back into the modern world to track down her lover and wreak revenge on his captors and all who stand in the way of their reunion.

The “Snake Woman” genre is massive, and has generated more fans worldwide then the entire vampire and werewolf genres combined. And Mallika Sherawat has quite the fanbase of her own, having been voted one of Maxim Magazines ‘Most Desirable Women on the Planet”, with over a billion Indians proclaiming her to be the sexiest woman in the world.

With a high profile director, stellar cast and some of the most amazing special effects ever created for a Bollywood production, HISSS looks to be the SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE of the horror set. In fact, also starring in the film is SLUMDOG’s own Irrfan Khan!
