Sven- Cult of the Cobra (1955

From Wiki- Cult of the Cobra is a 1955 American black-and-white horror film from Universal-International Pictures, produced by Howard Pine, directed by Francis D. Lyon, that stars Faith Domergue, Richard Long, Kathleen Hughes, Marshall Thompson, Jack Kelly, William Reynolds, and David Janssen.[1] The film was released as a double feature with Revenge of the Creature.  In the film, six American officers witness the secret ritual of Lamians (worshipers of women who can change into serpents). When the soldiers are discovered by the snake cult, the High Lamian Priestess vows that "the Cobra Goddess will avenge herself". A mysterious woman enters into the life of each service man, with disastrous results: "accidents" begin to happen, and before each death the shadow of a cobra is seen.  Back to me:

Wow this movie is kinda dull.  The cast is competent, but it goes nowhere.  I don't have much bad to say about it, but I also don't have much good to say about it, either.  That ending isn't even very exciting.  Perhaps a better script and director could have made this into a more memorable movie.

Next- The Mad Magician
