In this haunting low-budgeter, Bela Lugosi stars as Murder Legendre, a shadowy character who exercises supernatural powers over the natives in his Haitian domain. Coveting Madge Bellamy as his bride, ... read more
It's a shame that Bela Lugosi didn't get more leading parts that exercised his abilities as an actor, but then again, he was quite happy to indulge in his horror legacy and make a living off of it in the process. White Zombie was released a year after the success of Dracula, and ... read more
The first zombie movie, with a nice moody atmosphere. Casting-wise Lugosi clearly dominates, in many ways this is his movie.
A great Lugosi movie, if you're a fan you should see this. He has zombies at his command. Fantastic movie!
"With these zombie eyes he rendered her powerless...
...with this zombie grip he made her perform his every desire!"
Very educational. For example; I learned that Bela carves a pretty mean candle. And... did anyone else know that the 'zombie grip' makes girls do whatever you ... read more
Shortly after his iconic turn as Dracula, Bela Lugosi made this-the first ever zombie film. It's worth noting that this is also an independent film, not made by Universal or some other major studio. That's perhaps why this one seems to be overlooked more often than not. This is a... read more
You can see that the small budget was used well, to great effect. However, the film has literally not aged well , the copy I saw made little attempt to restore the soundtrack which meant that in some scenes the dialogue was obscured by pops and crackle.
An excellent performance by Lugosi but this is an extremely slow-moving snooze fest.
The long zombie-cinema marriage started with this little and very interesting film. Lugosi plays once again a devilish man with a thick and menacing accent.
These are Haitian zombies, not living dead zombies. A dated but still entertaining movie about a man who will go to any lengths to possess the woman he loves, even if he has to kill her. Bela Legosi is fantastic as Murder Legendre, the villianous zombie-maker.
The first zombie film of any kind does not get the genre started on the right foot and it would take over three decades before it emerged as one of the more prominent and profitable monster movie sub-genre's. The "zombies" in this movie are more like people in a trance under the... read more
Through its own ravishing simplicity, the film achieves the near-operatic. Full Review
I believe it's the first Hollywood production to feature zombies. Full Review
Eerie horror classic features Lugosi as zombie leader.
In the end, though, it's Lugosi's zombie master that pulls it altogether and makes it work. Full Review
It's Bela. It's a classic. Unfortunately, it's also a dreadful little flick.
An entrancing and spooky masterpiece of sorts. Full Review
