question

I'm hoping someone will know the name of the movie. It was about a female doctor who lost her medical license in the U.S. and went to an island, possibly Haiti, to care for a man who believed he was under a voodoo spell. A young native woman who befriended her turns out to be bad news. I would guess this move was made in the last 5 years and saw it on the SciFi channel. Thanks to anyone who recalls the title.

At first I was thinking it sounded like I Walked with a Zombie, but that was made in 1943 so I'll have to go with The Gate as well.

Elvis, thanks but that's not it. Early on it showed a burning field and sugar cane workers chopping away with their machetes. There was a fat corrupt police chief in charge of the island. The native woman who turned out to be bad news was turning people in zombies by blowing a kind of powder in their faces. Hopefully these details will jog someone's memory.

Well if it's not the Gate then it's gotta be The Serpent and the Rainbow.

Or not.... maybe http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250698/

Here is a link to a pretty good synopsis of Ritual. Explains the guy thinking he's a zombie bit. http://www.beyondhollywood.com/tales...-movie-review/

MissMacabre, thank you, you got it. The Ritual! I checked A thru Z on the list of voodoo and zombie moves made during the last decade and couldn't find it.

That's cause it was apparently pretty crappy and went straight to video. :p
