Review of White Zombie (1932) by John Beifuss for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) — 29 Mar 2013
It leads the viewer inside a fairy tale, not a slaughterhouse; it's expressionistic, not extreme. It affirms the power of the gesture, the shadow, the shudder. In other words: Who needs blood-red cannibalism when you've got a black-and-white Bela Lugosi?
