Alex B @AlexBioni Oct 29, 2026 The Dead Aren't Dead This feels like an authentic film, shot on location in Haiti with local people. I love seeing the culture, voodoo, and real locations like the cemetery and villages. The practical effects are great, especially when Dennis falls down a hole early on. The moody atmosphere makes you feel something is wrong. It reminds me of a haunted house at Kennywood during Fall Fest. The story follows Dennis as he researches a drug that makes people appear dead while still being alive. There are wild moments, like the dead bride with the snake and the blood in the casket. Bill Pullman is great, and Wes Craven's direction sells the dread. It's also one of those so called cursed films, with stories surrounding the on location shoot and a large confrontation involving extras. My one complaint is the abrupt ending. Overall, it's a fun movie worth checking out. See more

Selene A @seleneiswatchingmovies Oct 28, 2026 Esta película explora cómo la impotencia de ser sepultado en vida y habitar en el limbo entre la serpiente y el arcoíris puede funcionar como metáfora para el control que un régimen totalitario ejerce sobre sus ciudadanos. La idea es buena, aunque la ejecución, especialmente el final, deja un poco que desear. See more

Robert P @Superbad Oct 3, 2026 This is a *3* star Movie! See more

Justin T @RT08580778 Jun 23, 2026 That was some hot sex right there. I loved the story and setting and found it so engrossing. It’s so beautifully made with excellent production design. It’s quite a strange film, more of a thriller than a horror and probably the best voodoo film ever. The finale is excellent. See more

K G @KatyG-S Jun 1, 2026 A strange story but not everybody wanted to know of. Given that it is based upon a true story, the camera quality of its time could actually hold up to modern days since it felt like a documentary so you could be convinced that it was real. Documentaries tell real stories. The originality of the movie would not age well if it aged today - when we were given "Paranorman" in 2012 about seeing the dead come to life & the dead must be brought back to the dead. A similar case happens hear & there were no meanings to all the revived people fading into a bunch of skeletons. Not everything was meaningful & that could be intentional - could you see anything meaningful between the man & the woman who lost Cristophe? Possibly not. Now, I am going to watch another movie from Wes Craven - "The Nightmare on Elm Street". See more

Tim M @tgmacman Feb 11, 2026 The Serpent and the Rainbow has plenty of cultural intrigue, but its procession of frights feel more disparate than intentional. See more
