''[[The Serpent and Thethe Rainbow]]'' is a 1988 horror film directed by [[Wes Craven]]. It is, in a broad sense, [[Our Zombies Are Different|a zombie movie]], but one of the more traditional, pre-''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' voodoo types. Originally filmed in [[Useful Notes/Haiti|Haiti]], where a majority of the action takes place, the political and social unrest meant [[California Doubling|moving the entire production to the nearby country of Dominican Republic]] midway through production for the safety of the cast and crew.
 
Anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) travels to Haiti to investigate rumors of a drug used by [[Black Magic]] practitioners: one allegedly capable of transforming the living into zombie slaves. He meets with Marielle Duchamp, a Haitian medical doctor who has been working closely with cases of zombification. One of her most recent cases is a man named Christophe, a fresh zombie with a better memory than usual. In their investigation, they meet with Louis Mozart, who, despite being something of a [[Con Man]], is willing to provide them with the mysterious zombie drug.
