A CULT CLASSIC, HAS ANY ONE SEEN THIS MOVIE?
14 April 2000 | by (Washington, DC) – See all my reviews

I really like this movie, but most reviews that I see seem to trash it. It has an excellent cast of B movie stars, who are probably trying at this time to get recognition. They are Faith Domergue, Richard Long, David Janssen, Jack Kelly and Marshall Thompson. Here is a quick synopsis of the movie:

Stationed in Asia, six American G.I.'s witness the secret ritual of Lamians (worshipers of women who change into serpents). When discovered by the cult, the High Lamain Priest vows that the Cobra Goodess will avenge herself. Once back in the U.S., a mysterious woman enters into their lives and accidents begin to happen. The shadow of a cobra is seen before each death.
