Reader's Guide

Cry of the Winged Serpent is a creature feature directed by Jim Wynorski and executive produced by Roger Corman. According to Dread Central, it was 'the most enjoyable movie Jim Wynorski has made in close to the last twenty years. Though it’s not without its problems, those problems are not movie killers. I’d dare say those problems give the film a rough around the edges feel that enhances its B-movie goodness.' The film aired on the Syfy channel and is one of several creature features from Wynorski, drawing inspiration from the 1982 film Q - the Winged Serpent. Its significance lies in its place within the B-movie tradition, with a reception that acknowledges its flaws as part of its charm.
