Viewing Notes

Part of my Val Lewton-produced double feature (the first was The Body Snatcher), I Walked With A Zombie is pretty cool.

I love the pre-Romero zombie movies; White Zombie, which mines similar territory, is one of my favorites.

I Walked With A Zombie is the middle of three Val Lewton-produced horror movies that Tourneur directed, the other two being The Cat People and The Leopard Man.

There are some genuinely creepy scenes here, especially the voodoo and zombie portions.
