WHITE ZOMBIE(1932)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


As apposed to black zombies! This appears to
have several gaps in the picture! Also, the
sound has a lot of "white noise" in it!!!
As for the story, a couple are invited to a
count's mansion to get married! Said man has
an aquantance who uses zombies for slaves!
The two questions: why invite the young couple,
and how is his friend making these zombies?? C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Long before Serpent and the Rainbow (the book
and the movie) there was the 1932 film White
Zombie which is loosely based on a book by
William Seabrook, The Magic Island written
in 1929 - it is also the first movie about
Zombies ever filmed.

White Zombie is a good old classic horror
film that fans of horror and zombies should
enjoy. It stars none other than our own Bela
Lugosi as the witch doctor 'Murder' Legendre.

The film is beautifully done and I agree
with others that there is a air of sadness
to go along with the morbidity of horror.
Well worth watching.

The idea behind "zombism" is plausible yet
still considered a mystery to some.... what
gives it plausibility is the fact it could
be done with a drug (in powder form) derived
from plants to 'slip' to the victim.

8/10 - Rainey-Dawn
