 Overview |
The Halperin Brothers made White Zombie in just 11 days back in 1932, with $50,000 (Bela Lugosi got less than $1,000 to play zombie master Murder Legendre) and sets left standing from Universal's Dracula and Frankenstein. Keeping dialogue to a minimum, they wisely let cameraman Arthur Martinelli cut loose on this odd fairy tale, avoiding the stagy, static feel that pervades most early Talkies. White Zombie doesn't tell us a story when it can show us one.
One of the most visually interesting horror films ever made, White Zombie has been slighted by videotapes made from scratched, faded 16mm prints. Two 35mm prints were used for this DVD, making as clean and crisp a White Zombie as you'll ever see. |
