Jun 19, 2013 · on June 19, 2013. Conan the Barbarian (1982) had one intriguing plot known as the Snake Cult. The villains were first introduced with the movie version of Thulsa Doom commanding his soldiers to massacre the Cimmerian village. The massacre is very real and brutal, unlike the sanitized version that came during the 1990s Conan the Adventurer cartoon.
This was the first film that introduced me to "the goosebump effect" or rather seeing scenes of such emotional and thematic power that they give you chills. After watching this film over and over again it still doesn't disappoint. The scene immediately following the raid on Conan's village is a true masterpiece of visual storytelling.
