Wes Craven’s breakthrough 1987 film is about a scientist investigating voodooism.
The film remains grounded in reality for most of its 98 minute running time, and it is only at the end that it cops out by delving more completely into fantasy.
It is still an enjoyable film, particularly after a viewer is aware of where it is headed, but our feeling has always been that folks went overboard for it because they were just happy to see Craven moving beyond things like Shocker.
