I Walked With a Zombie

“Dull, repulsive” was the verdict at the premiere – today, Tourneur’s film is considered a classic of its genre. Betsy is sent to a Caribbean island to nurse the ailing wife of a plantation owner. When modern medicine fails, she consults a voodoo priestess. Unhappy Eros, fateful Thanatos, shaped into eerily beautiful images, so that the nightmare arises solely in the minds of the audience.
