White Zombie is a 1932 horror film directed by Victor Halperin, with stars that include Bela Lugosi, Joseph Cawthorn and Madge Bellamy.
A young couple travel to the island of Haiti for their wedding but something weird is going on there. Zombies are all around and it's scaring the locals. When the couple are married, the bride becomes focus of unwanted attention and sinister magic is used on her. A powerful witch doctor on the island has hypnotic eyes and keeps a pet vulture. There is a castle on a cliff that everyone stays away from because it's filled with zombies!
Beautifully made film and it was scary too! Bela Lugosi directed some of the film and, according to his son, this was one of his favourite. White Zombie is the first horror film to portray zombies as evil. The heavy metal band White Zombie was named after this particular old movie. I rate this atmospheric film a 8/10.
