This movie is not bad, but for its time possibly a hit.
Few years after the first ever zombie movie (White Zombie).
Hollywood must of needed more zombie films. The movie
starts out in a plane, a pilot, secret agent and servant,
lost and running out of fuel. They receive a signal in
another language and then attempt to land. But in the
process they crash on a zombie infected island.
They awake from the crash and see that they arrived in
a graveyard. They walk about 30 steps and reach a house.
They get a warm welcome from the owner of the home, who
is a so called Doctor. Then they are shown to there room.
The host suggests the servant sleep in the servant quarters.
Then the servant is frightened by ZOMBIES!!! Runs to tell
his masters, and of course they don't believe him. Then
so on the movie gets into the two white guys not believing
him.
Being that this movie was made in 1941, you see the token
black guy who is a driver(servant) for one of the men.
The music they chose for the movie was terrible, which
reminds me of Looney Toons cartoons. The token black guy
was the only good part of the movie, he had many funny
moments.
There is voodoo, zombies, hypnotism and more on this
film. The acting each character was done well for 1941
film making. No scary parts, the only reason I could see
anyone would want to watch this, is if they are zombie
fanatics (such as I).
