“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The Flying Serpent (1946)
How bad is it? It's one of the worst from the cheapest studio.
Should you see it? Si.
Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) was the lowest of the Poverty Row studios and this film is a "Mexican" remake of their earlier "Devil Bat," which starred Bela Lugosi. This time, George Zucco plays a mad scientist - as always - who discovers the god Quetzalcoatl is guarding Montezuma's gold and he decides to use it to do his bidding. All he has to do is place one of its feathers on a victim and the reptile/bird attacks to get it back. The monster is obviously held up by a number of strings and the film itself seems propped up.
Should you see it? Si.
