Review of The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) by Jonathan Rosenbaum for Chicago Reader — 23 Sep 1992
Genuinely frightening...it's nice for a change to see some of the virtues of old-fashioned horror films—moody dream sequences, unsettling poetic images, and passages that suggest more than they show—rather than the usual splatter shocks and special effects (far from absent, but employed with relative economy).
