Notes

"The idols and the prey is a study in degeneration. An American couple, wealthy but without work or hope, arrive in Haiti seeking to find paradise. A young American artist, looking for primitive religion to resolve the frustrations of his personal life and art, becomes their satanic guide. Not only do these three lost souls lose what little contact they once had with civilization; they quickly discover that Haiti - at least the corrupt ruling caste and the vodoun cult that operates on its fringe - is a ridden with dishonesty, guilt and fear as they are."
