Synopsis

In 1985, after a successful research in Amazonas, Dr. Dennis Alan from Harvard is invited by the president of a Boston pharmaceutics industry, Andrew Cassedy, to travel to Haiti to investigate the case of a man named Christophe that died in 1978 and has apparently returned to life. Andrew wants samples of the voodoo drug that was used in Christophe to be tested with the intention of producing a powerful anesthetic.

Dr. Alan travels to meet Dr. Marielle Duchamp that is treating Christophe and arrives in Haiti in a period of revolution. Soon Alan is threatened by the chief of the feared Tonton Macuse Dargent Peytraud, who is a torturer and powerful witch. Alan learns that death is not the end in the beginning of his journey to hell.

User reviews

Lisa Williams
7/10

The soundtrack of The Serpent and the Rainbow perfectly captures the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of Haiti during a period of revolution. The haunting melodies and tribal rhythms create a sense of unease and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Patricia Rodriguez
8/10

The use of traditional Haitian music elements combined with modern instrumentation adds a unique and authentic layer to the film's storytelling. The music enhances the tension and horror of the story, immersing the audience in the dark and mystical world of voodoo practices and supernatural forces.

Paul Lewis
6/10

On the other hand, the soundtrack at times feels a bit repetitive and predictable, relying heavily on ominous drumbeats and chanting to create tension. While these elements work well in certain scenes, they can become monotonous and lack the nuance needed to elevate the film's emotional impact.

Laura Evans
5/10

The soundtrack of The Serpent and the Rainbow effectively captures the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the Haitian setting. The use of traditional Haitian music and instruments adds authenticity to the film's portrayal of voodoo culture, enhancing the overall sense of dread and suspense.

Karen Johnson
7/10

Overall, the soundtrack of The Serpent and the Rainbow is a standout element of the film that elevates the viewing experience and leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
