White Zombie (1932)
7/10
Beautifully photographed but somewhat underwhelming ending
27 October 2019
White Zombie is beautiful to watch, a combination of gorgeous black and white photography and wonderfully rendered matte paintings, and combo shots. I found the ending somewhat underwhelming, especially in light of some foreshadowing which does not pay off. Nonetheless, a true classic, even more fascinating if viewed through the lens of more informed understandings of colonialism, slavery, and related race relations.
