Great Black (African American) Horror Movies (11 movies items)"Wes Craven's take of the true story of Wade Davis' excursions into Haiti caused a negative reaction for what essentially amounted to a horror reimagining of reality. This partially contributed to it being largely ignored, even into the present day. What would be the first of several of Craven's collaborations with largely black casts, "The Serpent and the Rainbow" has always been one of my favorites. Though the star is Bill Pullman, he is but a traveler in a world of culture and mysticism larg"
70 Underappreciated and Lesser Known Horror Films (70 movies items)"Wes Craven took a legit record of a culture and made a horror movie out of it. People criticized him for it but in retrospect, and separated from the source material, it's one of his best. "

Elokuvapäiväkirja 2017 (315 movies items)"25.1. Hyvin alkava Käärme ja Sateenkaari sortuu Cravenin perisyntiin lopussa. Ohjaajalla on tapansa mukaisesti ollut vaikeuksia pitää paletti tasaisena, ja yleensä viimeistään kliimaksia venytetään kauhuleffojen kliseiden mukaisesti.
