Take a powerful, revealing nonfiction book, sift through it for its most cliche'd elements and turn it into a terror film and you've got The Serpent and the Rainbow.

Washington Post
...Craven's cross-over into the mainstream....An excellent cast, one that raises this far above the level of ordinary exploitation...
New York Times
Offers a few good scares but gets bogged down in special effects.

Rating: 4/5 --
A fascinating trip into a portion of Haitian culture, which Craven uses as an excellent critique of America's incessant focus on or obsession with imperialism.

The Serpent and the Rainbow is uncanny in the way it takes the most lurid images and makes them plausible.
