October 1, 2009Another sensationalist title to draw in the crowds which it really didn't need to do as this is a fantastic thriller and by then Lewton & Tourneur were quite respected. I feel the title puts a lot of people off which is a shame because this is a classic!

December 15, 2008There actually seemed to be a time when B-horror was visually and thematically interesting, if less so than its big-budget counterparts. That time, for the most part, has long since evaporated. I Walked with a Zombie is a lovable little oddity, hilariously xenophobic, poorly acte...( read more)

March 14, 2008Strangely, despite the fact that Val Lewton seemed to have a tendency to avoid the rather silly, exploitative titles that RKO would give him when actually producing the films they were to name, this line is actually in the movie. It feels just slightly uncomfortable, but, as usua...( read more)

January 20, 2008In this Val Lewton film, based on "Jane Eyre", a nurse travels to Haiti to care for a sickly woman. But is her illness more voodoo than virus?

October 31, 2009A fine movie with a rather crappy title. This classic drama horror film is still creepy, thanks to outstanding atmosphere and expert direction from Jacques Tourneur. Well acted for the most part, it always held my interest. Good cinematography.

October 20, 2009The is a re-teaming of the people who brought us Cat People. And like that film this rises above typical horror due to interesting subtext. In that film, it was about sex. In this it concerns racial issues. But in addition to that, it has awesome atmosphere. And it's short n' swe...( read more)

October 5, 2009Something about the movie didn't appeal to me. The tribal drums were cool but nothing really clicked.. Maybe i'll change my mind in the future.

September 4, 2009Another zombie film from this era that takes place in the Caribbean. A nurse from Canada is hired by a wealthy landowner to come to his island and watch after his catatonic wife (who is actually zombified). More of a drama than anything with the nurse wanting to be the landowner ...( read more)
