About the event

Creepy Crypt no.434: The Serpent and the Rainbow (OmU)
Diesen Sommer steht alles im Zeichen von Wes Craven. Wir zollen dem legendären Regisseur die Ehre und zeigen eine breite Auswahl seiner Filme über die nächsten Monate verteilt.
Am 09. August geht der Summer of Craven nach einer kurzen Unterbrechung weiter mit "The Serpent and the Rainbow" aus dem Jahre 1988 mit Bill Pullman in der Hauptrolle. Auch wenn die Darstellung von Voodoo in dem Film etwas fragwürdig ist, ist der Film ein wichtiger Meilenstein in Wes Cravens Karriere.

Dr. Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) forscht im Auftrag eines Pharma-Konzerns in Haiti nach der sogenannten "Todes-Droge", die angeblich klinisch tote Menschen zurück ins Leben holen kann. Schon bald stößt er auf eindeutige Beweise. Unterstützung erhält er dabei von der Ärztin Marielle, die ihm immer wieder unter die Arme greift. Doch je tiefer er in die Materie eindringt, desto bedrohlicher wird seine Forschungsarbeit. Die Suche nach dem sagenumwobenen Pulver führt in in die Fänge eines mächtigen Voodoo-Magiers, der als Polizei-Captain getarnt eine ganze Stadt in Schach hält. Schon bald gerät Dr. Alan immer weiter in den Sog von Voodoo, schwarzer Magie und übernatürlichen Kräften. Bis er jedoch begreift, was gerade passiert, ist es schon zu spät...

This summer, everything is about Wes Craven. We're paying tribute to the legendary director and presenting a wide selection of his films over the next few months.
On August 9th, after a brief hiatus, the Summer of Craven continues with "The Serpent and the Rainbow" from 1988, starring Bill Pullman. Even though the film's portrayal of voodoo is somewhat questionable, it is an important milestone in Wes Craven's career.

Dr. Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) is commissioned by a pharmaceutical company to research the so-called "death drug" in Haiti, which supposedly can bring clinically dead people back to life. He soon encounters clear evidence. He receives support from the doctor Marielle, who repeatedly lends him a helping hand. But the deeper he delves into the subject, the more threatening his research becomes. The search for the legendary powder leads him into the clutches of a powerful voodoo magician who, disguised as a police captain, holds an entire city in check. Soon, Dr. Alan finds himself increasingly drawn into the vortex of voodoo, black magic, and supernatural forces. By the time he realizes what's happening, it's already too late...</english>
