Short description
A Harvard anthropologist is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses. Based on the true life experiences of Wade Davis and filmed on location in Haiti, it's a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural.
What's left behind the scenes
- Due to the worsening political situation and civil unrest in Haiti, local authorities warned the film crew that they could not guarantee their safety. As a result, filming was moved to neighboring Dominican Republic.
- The voice of Diamanda Galas was used to create the effects of the creatures in the film.
- Wade Davis, the author of the book the film was based on, stipulated when selling the rights to adapt it that Peter Weir would direct and Mel Gibson would star. However, Wes Craven ultimately directed the film, and Bill Pullman took on the leading role.
- The CD with the film's soundtrack is considered one of the most expensive rarities in the field of film music, as only 10 copies of the CD were made; the rest of the soundtrack's run was released on vinyl records.
