Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: Bill Pullman The based on a true story (although, the movie plays fast and loose, with that aspect), of the film. Music score by Brad Fiedel Paul Winfield and Cathy Tyson The overall eerie atmosphere. Cons: The depiction of Voodoo, feels very Hollywood centric. It may too terrifying, for some to watch."
