Synopsis is too long[edit]

This is much too long.--Parkwells (talk) 17:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The changes you made aren't that bad, but did cut out several links such as the one to rat poison and scrotum. I plan to reintroduce those links and add back in some of the more critical material you cut but will wait a week or two to do it to give other editors a chance to chime in. -OberRanks (talk) 19:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched the film and took the liberty to change the plot a bit, since it was a little off, just to make it more understandable, but feel free to correct it again. I tried to make it as short as I could but the film has a lot of information that cannot be let behind. This is my first edit so please be gentle.

Jaguar[edit]

There is a part in this film that mentions a type of Catholicism which is also a type of Voo Doo in Haiti. This would seem to be a point of interest in the states. Jacob's Ladder dvd extras contains an interview which mentions sample audiences being "catatonic" after previewing Jacob's Ladder. If these types of areas were standard, what would be a focal bias for the film industry? 75.202.89.17 (talk) 07:16, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion[edit]

This article is way to short for the cult following it has, it should be expanded in more detail (the plot, reception and production).--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC) I agree. It certainly is not too long. One of Wes Craven's most ambitious movies. (John G. Lewis (talk) 00:41, 10 March 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Expansion[edit]

This article on the Wes Craven film is way too short and needs to be expanded in more detail than what it currently has, the plot, production with information on the film's development, writing, direction and filming added in their own sections. Also there is not alot of information on the film's reception.--Paleface Jack (talk) 22:18, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to an old post, but just saw cursed movies season 2, in which "The serpent and the rainbow" was featured in episode 4 with interesting facts about the production process and controversies. Was surprised not to find it here as well... GeronimoX (talk) 12:36, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
