The Horror!? 18: Rattlers (1976)

Now this, on the other hand, accomplishes all a bad movie could set out to do: It captures a place and time (Nevada, 1976) brilliantly, is badly acted and produced in a very heartwarming way and is quite stupid (of course not as stupid as -let's say- a Michael Bay movie, but hey, that guy has a lot more money to burn).
So, why are the rattlesnakes near a small desert community running amok? Could it have something to do with the nearby military base? Will our herpetologist-hero and his photographer-love-interest solve this riddle? Will you survive the romantic interludes? How clever and stealthy can these rattlesnakes get? What's up with the doctor's hair? What exactly is my definition of "genius"?
If you want the answers to these questions and others that you never dared to ask before, run out and find yourself a copy of this small work of genius!
