The premise
A fleeing gangland flunky discovers the New York nest of Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, the man-eating flying serpent.
Horror Vault's take
High above the Manhattan skyline, something monstrous has made its nest — and New Yorkers are starting to disappear. Larry Cohen's scrappy cult classic pits street-level crime drama against ancient Aztec mythology, as a small-time crook stumbles onto a secret that the city's detectives can barely bring themselves to believe. Equal parts grimy 1980s New York thriller and monster movie, Q delivers creature carnage alongside an unexpectedly grounded character study.
