One of Wes Craven's best films – THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW – is getting a sweet new Blu-ray release courtesy of those beautiful bastards at Scream Factory. We've got the deets on the Blu-ray below, which should satisfy any rabid fan of the voodoo thriller.
In case you need it, the synopsis:
A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman) is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses. Based on the true life experiences of Wade Davis and filmed on location in Haiti, it's a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural.
