While being transported via train to a carnival, a king cobra is let out of its box by Satan, and it kills two railroad workers. The snake flees into the night, under the influence of demonic powers. It eventually heads toward a small Alabama town, ready to strike in the name of evil. Meanwhile, the town's Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. Tom Farrow (Fritz Weaver), discovers that his ancestor was none other than St. Patrick, who drove the snakes from Ireland. Now, Farrow must do the same.

B P @Bradster69 5d Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Ian S @RT48225084 Dec 6 Drivel. maybe Fritz Weaver's worst movie. Nothing good about it except the end credits. See more 12/02/2018 Corny, cheesy and well.. some laughs though not that they were intended.. and the laws of moviemaking were not obayed.. entertaining at least See more 05/21/2017 Exorcist meets Jaws with dismal results. still, you would be a fool to watch this kinda thing with anything but the lowest results. The charming Sheriff steals the show, which really isn't that hard to do all things considered. the pre CGI snake should have won an Oscar at the very least. See more 05/08/2017 Well that was quite the different take on the killer animal genre. I enjoyed it. See more 01/18/2017 The whole film competently rips offs Jaws in cheesy b movie tradition but the ending is really weak. See more Read all reviews
