Q: The Winged Serpent
Made by the late B-movie auteur Larry Cohen, 1982’s Q: The Winged Serpent begins with a hell of a premise—what if the ancient Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl made a nest atop the Chrysler Building and started picking off New Yorkers from the sky?—and adds in other fun elements, like a cult performing brutal ritual murders, some absolutely over-it cops, and a petty criminal who’s also a failed jazz pianist who thinks maybe a winged-serpent egg could be his ticket to easy street. In short, this movie rules. Watch on Peacock.
