December 24, 2008An anthropologist travels to Haiti in search of the legendary "zombie drug" and gets mixed up in voodoo and third world politics. Sadly, horror movie cliches eventually overtake the unique premise and vivid nightmare sequences. Zakes Mokae's black voodoo priest steals the show.

September 3, 2009Technically an ok movie, but for some reason I didn't like. I was somehow tedious. It didn't catch me at all. Maybe it wasn't scary enough or the plot wasn't interesting enough. Maybe it's both, or maybe it's just me.

November 12, 2006This was actually based on a true story! The secret drug they use to induce seemingly death coma comes from a blowfish. This is still happening in some areas of the country.
