Mona Lisa -- An ex-convict, thug and a high-class call girl make for an unlikely and dangerous couple in Academy Award-winner Neil Jordan's (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire) tale of frustrated love on the cruel streets of London's underworld.

Wes Craven (The People Under the Stairs, Shocker) directs this terrifying story of one man's nightmarish journey into the eerie and deadly world of voodoo. A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman) 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.

In this tense, atmospheric film from horror king Wes Craven, an anthropologist dives into the mysterious voodoo underground of Haiti, in search of a drug that can turn humans into zombies!

Dennis Allen is an industrial chemist visits Haiti on the strength of a rumor of a drug which renders the recipient totally paralyzed but conscious. The drug's effects often fool doctors, who declare the victims dead.
