Film Synopsis
A young couple travels to Haiti to marry, only to fall victim to a sinister plantation owner who enlists a voodoo master to turn the bride into a zombie. Controlled by dark magic, she is stripped of her will and trapped in a living death. The horror builds as the groom races to break the spell before it becomes permanent.
Critical Perspective
-
Sporting stellar production values, a host of inventive camera effects and a uniquely ominous atmosphere … Lugosi is on top form here in a role expertly tailored to his bizarre brand of screen magnetism.
