Horror maven Wes Craven attempted a slight change of pace from his usual slasher movie milieu with this chiller loosely based on a true story. Bill Pullman stars as Dennis Alan, a Harvard researcher sent to Haiti by a pharmaceutical company to investigate the zombie legend and any possible connection it might have to a rumored drug that could be used as a new breed of powerful anaesthetic. Once on the Caribbean isle, Alan is aided by a good voodoo priest or "houngan" (Paul Winfield) and his daughter (Cathy Tyson), who runs a local clinic. Alan's search also pits him against an evil houngan, Dargent Peytraud (Zakes Mokae). Peytraud also controls the Tonton Macoute (the Haitian secret police), who are involved with soon-to-be-deposed dictator "Baby Doc" Duvalier. The Serpent and the Rainbow was based on the book of the same name by Wade Davis, an ethnobotanist whose real-life hunt for the zombie drug was credited with cracking the medical mystery behind the myth.
My SIL requested this as a holiday gift, she wanted to upgrade from VHS to DVD. I've seen the movie (long ago) and it wasn't my cup of tea -- but hey, that's what she wanted and she's looking forward to it.
My SIL requested this as a holiday gift. After reading the reviews on IMDb and Amazon, it didn't sound like my kind of movie -- but hey, that's what she wanted (and I confirmed with her DH). She's looking forward to it.

This was purchased for a student headed off to college who wanted a versatile alternative to a smart phone (which was not an option). We went with the 9.7 Tab A because he could more readily use the keyboard feature to take quick notes, send email, etc. It also provided a larger viewing screen for reading articles or watching class lectures on the go.
After a semester, the tablet has proven itself -- accomplishing what we wanted and more besides.
