I have always enjoyed this movie. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are both great in this one. I think they have great chemistry together. The only thing I didn't like is the horrible product placement of AOL, which really dates this movie.

Jobless after having her medical license revoked, Dr. Alice Dodgson (Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing) accepts an offer to travel to Jamaica and treat American Paul Claybourne's (Craig Sheffer, A River Runs Through It) mysteriously ailing brother. But immediately upon her arrival, Alice finds herself immersed in the exotic rhythm and harmony of this foreign civilization...and besieged by the locals with terrifying tales of zombies and demonic possession. As her long-held faith in science clashes with her new experiences in the supernatural, Alice must ultimately submit to the strange native culture to save her patient, while fighting to escape with her own life. Also starring Tim Curry (Kinsey).

This is the first time I ever seen this one.  Matter of fact... until recently I didn't even know that Tales from the Crypt did a third film. Now if I am not mistaken I have everything done by them. I never been a big fan of films about voodoo... but this one was pretty good. Over-all I enjoyed it... even though I seen the ending coming from a mile away. Worth the time put in to watch it... but don't go in expecting too much. The Blu-ray disc has no extras what so ever... but this isn't surprising what with it coming from Echo Bridge.

A great episode! I especially like the scenes where Buffy learns about the betrayal by Giles and the ending, where Giles is fired.
Btw, Lt. Reed from Enterprise is vampire food in this episode.
