Review of The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) by Desson Thomson for Washington Post — 27 Dec 2012
Apart from moments of conventional schlock (the ending included), "Serpent" twists with expertly drawn menace. The editing's snappy, the images visceral, and Craven's Haiti is a craze of blood ceremonies and political rioting -- it's set during the fall of "Baby Doc" Duvalier.
