Our multi-venue celebration of horror titan Wes Craven (starting with October 4’s screening of SCREAM at Ijams Nature Center and culminating in a KHFF triple feature at the Parkway Drive-In on October 18) stops in at Central Cinema for a special Frankencon double bill of Craven’s THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS and this culturally-curious chiller about Haitian Vodou and its zombie traditions.

In a time of social and political unrest in Haiti, anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) travels to the torn country to study a Voodoo drug used in religious practices to turn victims into living zombies. With the help of a witch doctor (Brent Jennings) and a fellow researcher (Cathy Tyson), Dennis pieces together the deadly mystery. But as Dennis uncovers the secrets behind the mysterious powder, he must evade the Haitian authorities who view his research as a potential threat.
