Dennis Allan is a scientist who visits Haiti on the strength of a rumour of a drug which renders the recipient totally paralyzed but conscious. The drug's effects often fool doctors, who declare the victims dead. Could this be the origin of the "zombie" legend? Alan embarks on a surprising and often surreal investigation of the turbulent social chaos that is Haiti during the revolution which ousted hated dictator "Baby Doc" Duvalier. Often a pawn in a greater game, Alan must decide what is science, what is superstition, and what is the unknown in a anarchistic society where police corruption and witch-doctory are commonplace...% D4 } J& s, X+ e8 j6 s/ j L

The Serpent and the Rainbow makes its American debut on Blu-ray courtesy of Shout! Factory. Fortunately, Shout! had archival elements that were in very good shape to work with. A brief video history of TSatR will illumine some of those materials. Image Entertainment put Craven's film on DVD in 1998 with a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer culled from the original 35mm theatrical prints. According to DVD Review writer Guido Henkel, the picture sported "a stunning image with deep blacks....the image is beautiful and absolutely clean, free of any scratches or marks from the original film material. The film boasts strong colors, bringing to live [sic] the colorfully blazing settings in Haiti and the South-American Amazon regions. It captures much of the exotic locations and the culture and this transfer reproduces every little detail. The compression is flawless, without artifacts or pixelation, and colors are not only strong but also faithfully reproduced, even under the most demanding lighting settings. The dark night shots maintain plenty of shadow detail and give the imagery an astounding depth. Chroma noise or color smearing are literally non existent on this great disc." In 2009, Universal Studios released TSatR on DVD as part of The Wes Craven Horror Collection. It is unknown whether Universal reused Image's transfer but compression was inferior as TSatR was paired on the same disc with Shocker. As Eric Goldman of IGN observed in his review of the set, TSatR's picture possessed "dull looking color and grain abounds."

The great news is that Shout! retains the color densities of Image's disc and presents them in a mostly sparkling transfer in high-definition on this AVC-encoded BD-50. Shout! also went the extra mile by acquiring new interpositive film elements in 2015, according to an advertisement. TSatR appears in an aspect ratio of about 1.78:1 that approximates its original theatrical exhibition of 1.85:1. Fabulous Films released the film in the UK during spring, 2015 (with BBFC cut by a few seconds) in its native 1.85 and I have scrutinized frame enlargements between Fabulous and Shout!. The US edition shows a bit more information on the top and bottom; it also masks a tad on the left and right edges but differences along the sides are pretty negligible. Fabulous also boosts brightness by a small notch. While I did not see TSatR during its theatrical run in 1988, I can vouch based on my knowledge of its production history that the overall color temperature and flesh tones appear completely naturalistic and spot-on without any digital manipulations. The rain-forest scenes and countryside look vivid and occasionally spectacular (see Screenshot #s 5 and 15). The bolder colors sometime pop out on the screen (check out the Old Shaman and his headdress in #17). The only blemishes that prevent the transfer from earning a higher score is a sprinkling of tiny white speckles and small reel-change markings that occur during scene transitions. But this will not distract the viewer from a beautiful presentation.8 X; D7 s& Q/ ]- {( Z* f1 Z4 X

! v# Y+ [1 k' j( P( {Shout! decided to retain the movie's original Dolby Suround 2.0 (rather than create a remix), rendered here in a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. Shout! does a very nice job of capturing the sounds from the busy Haitian streets and ambient noises from the forest. The lossless mix creates an equal balance between sound effects and music. A 5.1 remix may have produced more separation between the fronts and surrounds but I don't think it was necessary. Dialogue isn't as prominent in the fronts as other sounds, save for Pullman's voice-over narration. Composer Brad Fiedel crafted one of his best scores, which combines the pan flute with Haitian drum beats. His cue for the end credits contain pulsating synths that recall his main theme for The Terminator. Indeed, his electronic music and sequencers in this score stand as a bridge between music Fiedel wrote for the 1984 sci-fi classic and the more humanity-friendly themes he composed for the blockbuster sequel, T2: Judgment Day.4 y+ a7 P- p6 L7 j) p6 u8 r0 O+ x
