Wes Craven making a Scooby Doo type thriller is too anaemic to my mind. I expected a little more, especially after Left and Hills.
Even though only made for tv, SOF could have been edgier like The Spell or MO, which/witch had the perfect brew for what it was. Thinking about it now makes me want to watch it. MO is satisfying!

I am a huge fan of "The Spell" also. The mother-daughter relationship is very compelling that one. Reviewers are so willing to overlook some of the more intelligent elements in some of these movies.

TSATR is a goodie and Craven made an imaginative and tense little occult thriller which balanced fear and magic quite skilfully. Plus it also starred the likeable Bill Pullman and a terrifying turn by Zakes Mokae.
Serpent came off a wave of 2 other occult thrillers, The Believers and Angel Heart. I find it to be my favourite of the three.

Angel Heart is quite moody and atmospheric, but it lacks any real suspense, is a bit plodding and also self-important. It also undermines itself itself with a cheesy final shot.

Oh, That's perfectly fine.
If I gave the impression in my previous post that I expected you to see it right away then I do apologize, I am sorry.
I didn't mean it in that way at all.
Whenever you do see the Movie, Please let me know what you thought of it.
