Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

writers_reign This is a clever take on Jayne Eyre by a great producer-director team Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur who made several films for a stick of gum in the early forties and obtained 90 per cent of their effects by allowing the viewers imagination to stand in for cgi which was still decades in the future. Tom Conway may have only had a voice and suavity in common with his brother George Sanders but he makes a half-decent fist of the Rochester role and it's a great chance to catch the elusive Frances Dee as the Jane Eyre figure. She married Joel McCrea in the early thirties and didn't work nearly enough post-nuptials despite being a talented actress and a looker with it. Decent B-picture.

Prismark10 Great title but I walked with a Zombie is a dull film and even at a running time of 70 minutes it felt too long. It is also not a horror film.The film is actually a loose adaptation of Jane Eyre as a nurse arrives at a Caribbean island to take care of a sugar plantation owner's mentally disturbed wife who is living in a vegetative state. She has somehow been entranced but can walk at night.The island has voodoo rituals and the nurse discovers that two half brothers competed for the woman's love. One married her but she planned to run away with the other. The mother a devout Christian herself turned to voodooism to cast a spell on her.There was so much that could had been done with an interesting premise, calypso beats and a refreshing take on a Creole island culture but the film is so dull. It seems the film itself is inanimate.

Claudio Carvalho The Canadian nurse Betsy Connell (Frances Dee) is hired to travel to St. Sebastian, in West Indies, to work at Fort Holland nursing Jessica Holland (Christine Gordon), the wife of the sugar plantation owner Paul Holland (Tom Conway). Betsy meets Paul in the ship and is welcomed by Paul's estranged half-brother Wesley "Wes" Rand (James Ellison) in the farmhouse. During the night, she overhears a woman crying and she believes that might be Jessica and goes to her room. She finds a creepy mute woman and she learns that Jessica had a mental paralysis after a severe tropical fever and is a hopeless case, unable to speak or have power. Soon Betsy falls in love with Paul and she decides to help Jessica to be cured to make Paul happier. She suggests an experimental treatment with shock to Dr. Maxwell (James Bell) but it fails. While talking to the maid Alma (Theresa Harris), she discovers that another woman was cured in a voodoo ceremony by a voodoo priest and she decides to use witchcraft to cure Jessica. However the natives believe that Jessica is a zombie that cannot be cured. When Betsy meets Paul and Wesley's mother Mrs. Rand (Edith Barrett), she finds that Jessica was the pivot of a fight between Paul and Wes and she believes that her daughter-in-law is a zombie."I Walked with a Zombie" is an ambiguous zombie movie directed by Jacques Tourneur. The plot is a family drama and the zombies in this movie are not like in George Romero's trilogy or "The Walking Dead", but related to voodoo in a Caribbean Island. There is a creepy atmosphere with a beautiful cinematography, the non-stop voodoo drums and the native Carrefour, but no gore, violent death or scream. The conclusion is ambiguous after the revelation of Mrs. Rand. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Morta-Viva" ("The Living Dead")

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- I walked with a zombie, 1943. A Canadian pretty nurse arrives in the West Indies island St. Sebastian to care for the wife of wealthy sugar plantation owner. The young nurse thinks she seems to be living in paradise, despite plantation owner's dim view of his surroundings. His half-brother is much cheerier. When the nurse finally meets the plantation owner's wife, she finds the wife walking in the garden late at night. The wife is in a trance state. The family doctor explains that the wife has a severe tropical fever that burned out portions of her spine, leaving her in a zombie-like state. It's recommended to try insulin shock treatment. The nurse also begins to wonder if local native voodoo might be able to cure the wife.*Special Stars- James Ellison, Frances Dee, Tom Conway, Edith Barret, James Bell, Sir Lancelot. Dir- Jacques Tourneur.*Theme- The occult is dangerous.*Trivia/location/goofs- American, RKO studios. Val Lewton did not like the article "I Walked With A Zombie" by Inez Wallace that had been optioned so he adapted the story to fit the novel "Jane Eyre" because he felt the article's plot was too clichéd. The two figures seen walking along the beach during the opening credits are Frances Dee and Darby Jones. *Emotion- A horror noir film from this period in film history. In this film; less is more. The audience gets a chance to be involved in the film's action and goes along for a fun intriguing ride. *Based On- Jane Eyre book and West Indies island zombie myths.
