The Serpent and the Rainbow shines on Feb. 23

Disc Announcements

Once upon a time zombies didn’t merely rise from their graves for an unknown reason. At one point in history, zombies were made by those trained in the voodoo rituals. The undead beasts did their master’s bidding. Wes Craven’s The Serpent and the Rainbow goes to the heart of old world zombies in Haiti.

Movie Synopsis
A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman) 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.
