From the director of 1976's quirky horror God Told Me to comes this harmless creature feature with a little flair.

The city of New York is plagued by a rash of gruesome murders. The savage killer remains on the loose...anonymous.

Few will guess the perp is a pterodactyl-like bird that lives atop the famed Chrysler Building and is the reincarnation of a malevolent Aztec god!

("Aztec god"? That's Quetzecoatl to you, bub).

Director Larry Cohen's loopy monster effort deserves some kind of kudos for sheer entertainment value; it's clearly the product of an enthusiasm for fun missing in cinema today.

Also known simply as Q.
