9 | ''Curse of Snakes Valley'' (''Klątwa Doliny Węży'') is a 1988 Polish-Russian movie, which is remembered in Poland as one of the worst movies ever made. Back in TheEighties everyone wanted to make an ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' rip-off. Fortunately, there was a short story titled ''Hobby doktora Travena'' (''Doctor Traven's Hobby''), which had exactly the required type of plot. Needless to say, a adaptation got made. It was directed by MarekPiestrak who made several bad ScienceFiction and {{Horror}} movies. |
