CULT OF THE COBRA is pretty much a remake of CAT PEOPLE without the Guiding Light of a Val Lewton. It's not a BAD movie, per se, nor is it an Outstanding one. Faith Domergue is at her loveliest here and the Sanke, when used, is handled well, but the movie takes its time shifting into gear (we know damned well where everything is leading; why waste Time- and considerable Footage- getting there?). The inclusion of so MANY characters is detrimental to the overall film: too often, the movie seems to lack any true FOCUS ("crowd scenes," in which a large number of players are squeezed into too small a space, are common throughout).
