REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES(1936)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
Apparently a part of WW I history that I never
knew about: the "enemy" used zombies during the
Big One! LOL!! Anyway, the Allies decide they
need to know the secret behind the zombies and
send an expedition to find out information!! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
"Revolt of the Zombies (1936)" is sorta a sequel
to the Lugosi film "White Zombie (1932)". We did
have Lugosi's eyes from the original film showing
up every so often in "Revolt" but Lugosi is NOT
in this film otherwise. They could have very
easily used someone else's eyes or simply left
that part out of the "Revolt" film.
The movie is pretty good and worth watching if
you liked the original film but it really does
lack that luster, darkness, mysteriousness & story
appeal of "White Zombie (1932)".
Armand Louque (Dean Jagger) discovers the
secret to zombism but does not use the power
to destroy his rival Clifford Grayson (Robert
Noland) in a way that you would assume he would.
That is the bonus to the movie - not using an
easy and typical horror cliché which is 'kill
the rival'.
Gen. Mazovia (Roy D'Arcy) looks something
like Lugosi's "White Zombie" character 'Murder'
Legendre. And he does reference his ties to
Satanism before Armand's zombie servant
kills him. I found this interesting but
really nothing to tie Satanism into the
film and really was not a need for this
reference otherwise. I just think they
could have tied this into the film better.
I personally think this film could have
been better with more work on the script
and longer screen time. It would have been
nice for "Revolt" to have been tied
closer the original film "White Zombie".
Overall, this film was entertaining
and worth watching.
