The Poundland store has been particularly good at stocking B movie horrors such as the Cayman classics,Wasp Women,Little Shop of Horrors and the House on Haunted Hill. Perfect for those of us that will be staying at home a lot over these winter months
I picked up the title White Zombie as it is considered the first feature length zombie film.
I must admit I haven't watched many 30's film, as the ones I have seen seem to be over dramatic I don't know if that was because the silent movies age was like that. The female lead in the movie makes a lot of dramatic eye movements in the attempt to make her eyes appear the size of saucers (I think this is to make her look beautiful)and lots of female actions like fainting, touching her forehead in a dramatic fashion, all a little confusing. It seems to have a good spooky atmosphere, the picture quality isnt great in parts and a suitable music score.
Plot extract from Wikipedia
On arrival in Haiti, Madeleine Short reunites with her fiancé Neil Parker, with imminent plans to be married. On the way to their lodging, the couple's coach passes Murder Legendre, an evil voodoo master, who observes them with interest. Neil and Madeleine arrive at the home of the wealthy plantation owner, Charles Beaumont. Charles' love of Madeleine prompts him to meet Murder secretly in Murder's sugar cane mill, operated entirely by zombies. Charles wants to convince Madeleine to marry him and solicits Murder's supernatural assistance.
