Critic Reviews of "The Serpent and the Rainbow"
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Unfortunately, the political parallel between the ideological repression of Baby Doc's regime and the stultifying effects of the zombifying fluid is only sketchily developed, leaving us with a series of striking but isolated set pieces.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004The Serpent and the Rainbow has a screenplay that often breaks its spell.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Take 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 PostJanuary 01, 2000[Craven] seems wiser and more story-conscious -- but thankfully still full of the same surprises.
Under the RadarFebruary 28, 2016An admirable effort to put the voodoo back in zombie mythology ... anyone interested in a different take on a zombie tale should certainly give it a look-over.
Creative LoafingFebruary 27, 2016Better (certainly classier) than most films directed by the late Wes Craven, this zombie flick still registers as an also-ran in the horror sweepstakes.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsFebruary 28, 2015A solid supernatural voodoo chiller that finely mixes fantasy with real terror to provide the required horror pic scares.
Projection BoothOctober 26, 2007Despite the strongly emphasized exoticness its Haitian scenery, The Serpent and the Rainbow may be Wes Craven's most pedestrian film.
TV GuideSeptember 25, 2007Craven combines the terrifying dream sequences of A Nightmare on Elm Street with the subtle and evocative atmospherics of Val Lewton.
