When I attempted to write a zombie movie, I noticed this movie on a late
night showing. Thinking it would be good reference material, I watched
it the following day. Interestingly enough, the classic image of a
shuffling, brain hungry monster was evaporated and in its place was a
zombie - the literal definition - the walking dead.
A wife is dead and through Voodoo, is transformed into a zombie. As far
from a typical shock film can get, this relied heavilly on mood and
atmosphere to set the uneasy tone which was drenched with local island
folklore. Thoroughly creepy, through and through.
