Review: The Serpent and the Rainbow
Based on a true(ish) story and a departure in tone for director Wes Craven, The Serpent and the Rainbow looks at Voodoo and whether there really are such things as zombies.

This is on a par with the recent Documentary about Christopher Reeve, where you get a sense of the real person, and a feeling for their true nature.
This is, quite simply…Beautiful.
I have no idea how I missed this classic bit of 80s cinema, but I’m delighted to have watched it and in gorgeous 4K in this excellent release.
Films like The Cell absolutely bang on 4K and this is just breathtaking. As Deane enters dreamscape of Stargher’s twisted psyche, the colours and film sets are amazing.
Indicator’s new release of this film looks wonderful and despite the convoluted story, this is a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon film.
This is a pretty good murder-mystery- whodunnit with the added pleasure of Keanu Reeves playing a believable wife beating, southern redneck.
Much like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino does what all storytellers would love to do, rewrite history, and he does so with panache, humour and gore.
Looking like a mixture of Elvira and Chrissie Hynde, Moth was a force in photojournalism.
This is a really entertaining ultra-violent film. Portman is plain amazing in the role of Mathilda as is Reno as Leon.
It’s gorgeous and bright, yet dark and scary all at the same time, and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing in this 4K UHD release.
