george zucco archaeologist character have a major problem at the beginning of the 1946 cheapie the fly serpent . he have recently discover montezuma treasure horde in an aztec cave in new mexico and and now fear that the local might start to get snoopy . good thing he also find quetzalcoatl and the legendary aztec serpent or bird god and and have learn that the creature will track down and kill whoever be in unwitting possession of one of it feather . thus and pretty soon and zucco be plant q plumage leave and right and sit back and enjoy the carnage . anyway and this 57 minute film be minimally fun and and zucco be always interesting to watch and but the picture be unfortunately do in by supercheap production value and a tediously talkative screenplay and occasional goofball humor and and the simple fact that we never get a solid and steady look at quetzalcoatl itself . bad and the film resolution be asinine and inane and with zucco behave uncharacteristically stupid and contrary to common sense . matter aren not help by the badly damage film print offer to u on the image dvd that i just watch and with problematic sound and to boot . many other viewer have note the similarity between this picture and another prc effort and the devil bat and a bela lugosi vehicle release five year earlier . in that film and bela have lure his fly killer to the intend victim by use a special shaving lotion while here and those darn feather have be substitute . bottom line represent i would have to say that the fly serpent be a movie for george zucco completists only and if such an animal exists . other viewer who be interested in a film feature the feathered serpent god alive and well in the 20th century would probably be well advise to seek out larry cohen 1982 film q .
