The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)

Rate: 1
Viewed: 4/07

4/07: All the more reason to hate Wes Craven, The Serpent and the Rainbow is another failure in his oeuvre.

I mean, what was that? An anthropologist going to Haiti in an attempt to procure a medicine that'll work wonders on zombies, and this is based on a true story? It's more like a seminar for the alchemists.

Putting me to sleep many times over, the film has a ludicrous storyline, pathetic acting, and infantile dialogue. Wes Craven is the master of stealing ideas from other movies and making them as his own which often have the feel of made-for-TV crap.

All in all, The Serpent and the Rainbow is among the worst movies made.
