the serpent and the rainbow (1988)

"I want to hear you scream!"
An anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) wants to investigate the medicinal properties of the drugs used by voodoo priests use to create zombies in Haiti. But to do so he has to tread a fine line between the voodoo priests, and the Tonton Macoute, the violent thugs running Haiti.
A disturbing horror, due to its being situated within the very real brutality of the Papa Doc regime, where life was cheap and Zakes Mokae playing a more than convincing paramilitary leader with a more than just a nasty streak.
