Rating: 2/4 --
Better (certainly classier) than most films directed by the late Wes Craven, this zombie flick still registers as an also-ran in the horror sweepstakes.

Creative Loafing
Take 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 Post
A mix of horror and psychological thriller, we become enmeshed in Pullman's struggle, and as things get worse for him, the audience stays invested and hopeful he will overcome the horrors surrounding him.

Cinema Siren
Offers a few good scares but gets bogged down in special effects.

...Distinguished by superior production values, [the] film is intriguingly eerie...

Rating: 2.5/5 --
The Serpent and the Rainbow has a screenplay that often breaks its spell.
New York Times
Mixing religious beliefs with real life zombies is a mixture that could have turned hokey real quick. And adding the political strife into the plot made the story somehow relatable or at least identifiable.
