Filmed in black and white with a very low budget this movie obviously won't suit everyone's taste. Personally, I enjoyed it because it wasn't trying to be one of those "so bad it's good" zombie movies that seem to crop up just about everywhere these days. In this particular film, "Dr Biladeau" (Robert Stanton) is looking for a cure for cancer and he chooses to set up his lab on "Voodoo Island" which is located somewhere in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, a novelist named "Tom Harris" (William Joyce) is in search of new ideas for his next book and is convinced by his agent "Duncan Fairchild" (Dan Stapleton) to accompany him and his wife "Carol Fairchild" to this island. When they arrive a zombie attempts to kill Tom Harris but is chased away just in the nick of time. Later, zombies also try to capture a beautiful blonde virgin named "Jeannie Biladeau" (Heather Hewitt) for a sacrifice in a voodoo ceremony. At any rate, with a plot like that does it really matter that the special effects are bad or the script was awful? Hey, it's a campy late-50's horror movie with zombies and a damsel in distress. What's not to like? Just be advised that these zombies are the "pre-Romero" sort who don't eat human flesh. Although, why anyone would think they would is another question altogether.
