Dr. Andrew Forbes (George Zucco) has just recently
discovered the greatest treasure anyone has ever known and he will stop at
nothing to protect it and his secrets in the film THE FLYING SERPENT (1946). Through an unfortunate accident Dr. Forbes
discovers the existence of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a flying serpent, and
the treasure it has been protecting.
When outsiders begin to jeopardize his secret, Dr. Forbes sends the flying
serpent to deal with them fast and quietly.
Although a cheaply crafted creature Quetzalcoatl is the main
attraction of the film. As a film of the
‘40s I’m sure the monster was very impressive because of how new and different
it was but the story is very like other films of the era and leaves a lot to be
desired. This being said, because of the
short running time of only 77 minutes it’s a quick time waster and a film worth
the nostalgia factor alone.
If you’re a fan of old school horror films – enjoy!
