Q - The Winged Serpent
Directed by Larry Cohen
In Larry Cohen’s ‘80s cult classic, a giant dragon comes to NYC to feast on pedestrians. His name is Quetzalcoatl and for months he’s been hiding in the Chrysler Building and devouring unlucky sunbathers around the city. But when a criminal (Michael Moriarty) stumbles across Q’s nest, he must decide whether to lead two cops (David Carradine and Richard Roundtree) to the hiding place. Cohen walks a tricky line, combining an homage to giant monster movies and a character study of a pathetic loser, but the result manages to be fun, scary, and, yes, moving.

I’m giving this movie 2 skulls. It didn’t really hold up in my mind to the standards of today, save of the fact I saw it in theaters when I was 5. Surprisingly, I remembered much of it. Images, tone. Because at this point I’m old, I can say I didn’t have trouble watching the stop motion or the general low quality of the film. The 70s and 80s has a lot of great films, but they also made tons of films like this one. Thus, it didn’t bother me. However, I’m only giving it two skulls, because I wouldn’t dare recommended expecting them to like.
i love this creature feature film alot! 👍
Not only was the main character one of the most unlikeable "protagonists" I have ever seen, but the plot and stop-motion was almost more abysmal than him. The only thing this movie had going for it was the Winged Serpent scenes, and even those were pretty shoddy. Overall this movie was a pretty unbearable watch.
this classic creature feature film is still awesome to watch!
what did i just watch lol. I should have warch this shit high
