Review of White Zombie (1932) by Jordan M — 15 Sep 2008

This is pretty much just straight up awful shit. 95% of the movie is bela lugosi staring into the camera mugging and wringing his hands. that's like...supposed to be scary. he's also awful. I don't know if he was under the impression that he was in a comedy or what, because his facial expressions are of the comedic variety, or of the morphine addict variety, more likely.

every other actor is just as bad, and the film is pretty much plotless and boring as shit. this is a classic case of "welp, it's old, and in black and white, and i'm pretty sure someone said they liked it once.

..IT'S A CLASSIC!" poo. really only worth noting because it's technically the first zombie film...but not really all that much.
