GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

cricketbat I wanted to like White Zombie more. After all, it is considered to be the first "zombie movie" ever made. But the pacing and acting made it seem like the longest 68-minute film ever made. I think it would have worked better as a silent film.

TheRedDeath30 I would guess that there is some film geek out there that could dispute this notion with some obscurity that no one has ever heard of, but for all intents, this is the first zombie movie. Of course, these are not shambling brain munchers or lightning fast infected. These are not the zombies that litter indie horror nowadays. No, the zombies we are speaking of here are of the old voodoo variety. Maybe still shambling in their own way, but mindless hypnotized minions, set one destruction at the whim of their master.The movie sets an eerie tone right from the outset as a young couple moves to the West Indies and we open on their carriage ride to their new plantation, but something interrupts that ride. There is a ceremony going on at a crossroads, a voodoo ceremony at that. They are burying their dead in the road to prevent grave robbers from stealing the bodies. It immediately sets a wonderful midnight mood to this movie, as the crowd chants their songs. Seems our young lady has met a man who promises to be their guide through the exotic land, but he has more on his mind than that. He covets the young woman as his bride. Rather than try to win her the old fashioned way, he sets upon an evil plot. We meet Lugosi as Murder Legendre, one of his absolute best roles. He runs a sugar plantation where the workers seem to do anything their boss desires, in fact they do because they are all hypnotized zombies. Legendre tempts this young man with the idea that he can hypnotize our young maiden and make her a slave. Of course, the whole thing will eventually go awry, as you can never trust an evil mastermind.There are plenty of eerie scenes in this movie, including an odd march of the zombies, as they descend down a hill on their way to accomplish their master's commands. Even more, the theme of hypnotism is played out in the cinematography of the film. The actors often move with a slow steadiness. The camera pans and sweeps with serene movement. The entire thing feels like a dream (or perhaps, a nightmare). This effect is heightened because most prints I have seen are not of the best quality, so the graininess of the film adds to the effect. Watch this movie on an October evening with the lights down low. It's not an outright terror, by any means, but there is an overwhelming hypnotic quality that will creep in and settle with you.

kcarpenter-86883 White Zombie is an old time horror movie. This movie is found to be just like every other horror movie from this time period. Most old horror movies aren't found to have a lot of action or be very gory like horror movies are today. Just like other old movies, it is recorded in the studio. All the sets are made specifically for each scene. The sets are easily noticeable and corny but if the viewer can get past the corniness, the movie and story is pretty good. I find lighting to have a positive impact on many older movies. This movie also benefits from lighting. Lighting is very important to horror movies, it inputs a certain feeling and mood for the viewer just like music does. The acting in this movie was very poor. This definitely was not my favorite horror movie and I would not recommend someone to watch it.

sawyerdog Honestly I didn't really like this movie at all. I thought it was really slow and the pay off at the end sucked. I would say it is definitely worth a watch because it looks pretty cool and it is pretty eerie. If your going to watch this movie thinking the zombies are going to be shall I say walking dead looking then you will be very disappointed. Even Bela Lugosi Dracula himself I barely payed attention to in this movie. Even writing this review is hard to do because I didn't like it at all. I didn't like the main male actor in it I thought he was a strange looking guy and I just couldn't shake my dislike for him. Watch this movie if you want.
