Wes Craven's 'The Serpent and the Rainbow' Slithers to Blu-ray

The 1988 horror flick starring Bill Pullman will be getting the Blu-ray treatment this summer.

In an early announcement to retailers, Scream Factory is working on 'The Serpent and the Rainbow' for Blu-ray sometime in August.

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...
