Snobbin: Beautiful Trash in the Pop Culture Gutter

One of the best voodoo films due to strong performances, atmosphere, and special effects. Wes Craven tells a complex political story in a way that never feels dull and generally surprises. The film generally authentically covers Haitian voodoo honestly without attempting cheap scares. Dr. Dennis Allen (Bill Pullman) and Dr. Marielle Duchamp (Cathy Tyson) also somehow maintain realistic chemistry while combatting the evil Dargent Peytraud (Zakes Mokae) in a thriller that actually thrills.

Possibly, one of the most quotable horror films ever released. Roddy Piper's performance as everyman action hero Nada and the irresistible b-movie plot that incorporates sun glasses that allow common people to see the alien overlords in their midst, makes this one truly unforgettable and must watch. A cult film that deserves its acclaim. 

Joan Micklin Silver's breezy "hit" comedy relies more on the societal expectations for human connection than the fairy tale "will they, won't they" of the average rom com.
