Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Tristan DThe relationships with the G.I.'s are handled very well and despite moving at such a slow pace it never really gets dull. Loved Faith Domergue as the Cobra Woman. It would have been so much better if the reality of the transformations were left up to to the audience.
User Review - 6/10 by Aj VYou can tell where this movie is going just from what happens in the beginning, so the rest is really boring.
User Review - 6/10 by Orlok WShe'll Slither Her Way To Your Heart--Nifty 50's horror opus!!
User Review - 6/10 by Scott WRevenge monster thriller from Universal sees Cobra woman taking revenge on a group of US GIs who have defiled her temple. Faith Domergue is good as Cobra Woman Lisa. Marshall Thompson and David Jannsen.
User Review - 6/10 by Wes SNot terribly exciting, but it's far from bland. The characters are interesting and the story line has a nice fantastical element to it. It doesn't really look like a monster movie until the end, but there are traces of mystery and drama which help the otherwise meager plot.
User Review - 6/10 by Lunatic EIn spite of a plot that sound very lame, it is actually a pretty good film. Great pace, professional cast, genuine suspense. It is a low budget film, but very good use of the money and it doesn't look cheap.
User Review - 6/10 by Randy TFor a Universal Studios B-picture, this one isn't bad. It's about a group of American soldiers in "Asia" (the sets look like a cross between India and Morocco) who sneak into a secret snake ritual. One of the soldiers attempts a little flash photography and the group barely escapes with their lives. Soon afterward, the men return to the states and, one by one, they meet their demise under strange circumstances. *Note: Did anyone else notice the bizarre similarity between Cult of the Cobra (1955) and To Hell and Back (1955)? The two films have virtually the same cast (minus Audie Murphy of course). Marshall Thompson, Jack Kelly and David Janssen all play soldiers in both films. What an odd double feature this would be!
User Review - 6/10 by Bruce BA fun and effective piece of B-movie fifties sci-fi that features a woman who can transform into a snake. An interesting exploration of gender roles and the ethnic other that of course proves misogynistic and xenophobic but in a thoroughly enjoyable and cheesy fashion. Cult of the Cobra proves to be a thoroughly enjoyable film for fans of 50s sci-fi/horror.
User Review - 4/10 by James-Masaki RUniversal 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...
User Review - 4/10 by Michael HCult of the Cobra is a supernatural horror film, plain and simple. It's also a flagrant carbon copy of the Val Lewton Cat People of thirteen years before. Faith Domergue plays Lisa Moyer, a moody 'foreign' girl new to The Big Apple who transforms into a snake to fulfill a curse handed down by an irate chieftain of the Lamian cult (Edward Platt, of all people). Dogs and cats freak out whenever Lisa appears. She encourages her unwary victims to make a pass at her before striking. Jacques Tourneur's atmospheric street scenes are replaced by prosaic but functional Universal back lot facsimilies. A Lewton 'bus' moment occurs when a pressure cooker hisses ...you know, like a snake.
