    Can anyone tell me what this African movie is called?
    Its an african based Voodoo movie. I don't remember much about it lol.. so I'll put all I remember.

    An african bride and groom dying and being buried. The corpse of the bride's mouth opening and a rattle snake coming out and biting a guy in the face/neck.

    A man falling down a hole and hundreds of arms sticking out of the ground. It was a messed up african/voodoo movie starring a white guy lol.

    Let me know if anyone has heard of it.

    Confusing a Haitian setting for Africa is kind of like asking an Australian what part of England he comes from or telling a Chinese person that you like sushi... :)

    The movie is based on anthropologist Wade Davis' book of the same name. He investigated zombies in Haiti but his work on tetrodoxin has been pretty much discredited. Makes for a good story, though. You can read about him here.
