The first on-screen use of the word 'zombie

The first on-screen use of the word 'zombie'! A must watch if you are interested in the history of the horror genre, and although it is interesting, it's not the most entertaining. Robert Frazer was good as Beaumont and Lugosi was great as always, also has some nice matte painting work, but other than the historical significance, it's a pretty bog-standard early B-movie. 2/5

This is quite a decent little Zombie mystery

This is quite a decent little Zombie mystery with a wonderfully evocative opening few scenes as the couple drive to the eerie plantation home of "Beaumont" (Robert Frazer). Now I'm sure Haiti would be a beautiful place to marry in 2020, but back in the 1930s it was an island awash with voodoo and coffin lids that go bump in the night, so when "Beaumont" takes a shine to Madge Bellamy "Madeline" he turns to the local witch doctor "Legendre" (Lugosi) to help him lure her away from her dashing fiancée "Neil" (John Harron). It's got all the usual flaws: (really) poor writing; Bellamy is as theatrical as she can possibly be, but Lugosi is much less like a dodgy Austrian Archduke and the paucity of lighting actually helps to create a suspenseful atmosphere. It's certainly at the better end of the scale for these cheap and cheerful horror stories and well worth an hour of your time, late at night, after a wee cognac or three...

Beautifully photographed but somewhat underwhelming ending

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.
