Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis and the three other films in the same package were originally supposed to be shot in Mexico City. Boris Karloff was suffering from pneumonia and had only one lung (the other had been removed due to cancer), and his doctors told him not to travel to Mexico City because of the thin air at its high altitude. Karloff's scenes were shot in Hollywood.
- Quotes

- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits, Boris Karloff is billed twice, once as Damballa and then as Carl van Molder.
- Alternate versionsFor the DVD version entitled Cult of the Dead, the 2nd scene in the film, that of zombie revival, is abridged.

Featured review
Dumb -Al - La...Oh Yeah!
One of the four films that Boris Karloff made at the end of his life. He made four low-budget films for a company that produced the films in Mexico, although Karloff's scenes were shot in California by director Jack Hill. Karloff is visibly old and haggard, and frequently sits through most of his dialogue. I'm afraid that his presence cannot save this film from being utterly tedious and ludicrous. Karloff plays a French plantation owner seemingly connected with some snake cult, voodoo worship, and a lot of weird characters. There is a dwarf that wears crazy glasses and is slain for some inexplicable reason. There is also a woman that stares at people while she dances around with a snake. She has a wild white streak in her hair. The island has a new police chief that acts with all the conviction of a puppet. The actors are all Mexican (except for Karloff and one other actor). The blending of the footage shot in Mexico and that shot in Hollywood is done adequately, however, the film makes little sense. Script and editing are poorly conceived and poorly executed. Poor Boris! At least it is nice to see him again.
