A Harvard anthropologist is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses. Based on the true life experiences of Wade Davis and filmed on location in Haiti, it's a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Serpent and the Rainbow is uncanny in the way it takes the most lurid images and makes them plausible.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
The Serpent and the Rainbow has a screenplay that often breaks its spell.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
