Cult of the Cobra (1955) portrays a group of former servicemen whose lives are thrown into turmoil after they violate the sacred rites of a secret serpent cult during the final days of World War II. As unexplained deaths, growing paranoia, and the appearance of a mysterious woman unsettle the surviving friends, they struggle to understand the sinister force that has followed them home. Combining supernatural horror, mystery, and psychological suspense, the film explores guilt, vengeance, and the terrifying consequences of disturbing ancient beliefs.
