While The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) was a better acclaimed movie, I found The Believers (1987) to be one of the most frightening horror movies I've seen.

I had to walk home all by myself in -10 degree weather a half hour after I watched that movie. Scared the shit out of me.

EDIT

I also love The Skeleton Key (2005). Just something about voodoo and hoodoo movies that I find engaging.

I liked Serpent and the Rainbow (and recommended it to someone on lemmy) and also liked The Skeleton Key. I have not heard of The Believers. I have to check it out just from your recommendations.

Also seeing it made by the director who made Midnight Cowboy and Marathon Man has got me intrigued.
