Review of Cult of the Cobra (1955) by James-Masaki R — 19 May 2010

Universal lost steam in creating effective horror films in the 1950s. What happened? This film barely had a 'monster' that was visible. It was a snake, mostly in shadow. Not much going on in the effects department here...

6 American soldiers discover a cult of snake worshipers who believe in transformation into snakes being possible. After they are caught taking pictures of the rituals, they are cursed to death, in which each dies one by one with venom... My concern, it's not really a curse, if they send a "spy" in to kill them one by one...
