	Zombie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These folkloric zombies are humans who have had their Ti Bon Ange or soul stolen by supernatural means and shamanic medicine, and are forced to work for their "zombie master" as uncomplaining slaves on isolated plantations.
		His contempt for zombies and other such monsters (despite mistaking ravers for zombies) has led to use of the catchphrase, "I loathe the undead", a sentimentality used by gamers and readers of the comic.
		Zombies are common foes in horror-themed computer and video games, as well as being a primary element in games such as Resident Evil, Stubbs the Zombie, TimeSplitters and Dead Rising.

	I Walked With a Zombie - DVD Movie Central
		I Walked with a Zombie is a loose adaptation of
		I Walked with a Zombie with its "horror" element.
		I Walked with a Zombie must then be construed as a parable depicting the clash between Christianity and paganism, reason and supernatural, with the film's tragic conclusion attesting to triumph of "pagan" beliefs beyond the safe haven of Christianity in Europe.

	Zombie
		I mean you can run by a zombie quite easily, but there's always that dumbass that wants to kill the poor defenseless zombie, only to become the main course when he is suddenly surrounded by 20 of the walking dead.
		The Zombie script was based more on the films "I Walked with a Zombie", "Voodoo Island", and "The Walking Dead" than on Romero's "Dawn of the Dead".
		Released as "Zombie 2" in most of Europe (as "Voodoo, Schreckensinsel der Zombies" (Voodoo, Horror Island of Zombies) in Germany, and "Zombie Flesh Eaters" in the UK) due to the popularity of Dawn of the Dead, which was released as "Zombie" by Argento.

	Zombies on the web
		Zombies are hypothetical creatures of the sort that philosophers have been known to cherish.
		Zombies look and behave like the conscious beings that we know and love, but "all is dark inside." There is nothing it is like to be a zombie.
		Zombie behavior would be coincidental or lying; the idea rests on a Cartesian conception of self-knowledge.

		For the zombie, and the weird magic that stands behind him is beyond even the understanding of the voodoo doctors with all their fl rites.
		And this superstitious fear of the zombie and of those who are familiar with the raising of these dead people is fully justified.
		The story of the dancing zombies of Port-au-Prince is interesting from the point of view of throwing some light on the weird magic rites which are concerned in raising the dead from the grave to work in the cane fields.

	I Walked with a Zombie
		In I Walked With a Zombie, the wind and the incessant rhythmic beating of the native (voodoo?) drums take on a life of their own, creating a supernatural presence and eliciting a fear in the rich whites on the island of those whose religious practices are quite different.
		Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre was the basis for I Walked with a Zombie's plot.
		The scene where Betsy first sees the zombie Jessica Holland (Christine Gordon) has a shot where she enters a building and all that's illuminated is the doorway behind her and the side of a long winding staircase.

		The contrasting light and dark shadow patterns seen in the field add to the unmentionable dangers that are imagined in the frightened mind of the brave nurse, as she goes silently past the voodoo talismans and the goat carcass hanging from a tree.
		Rand is walking in the world of both the Christian and voodoo societies and her role in this affair is speculative, even to suggest possibilities that she wanted Wesley for herself -- almost like Jocasta in the Oedipal myth.
		The natives want the zombie dead, they feel there is enough sadness on the island as is without having this living curse among them.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1943)
		In I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, Betsy Connell (Frances Dee), a nurse, is hired to care for the invalid wife (Christine Gordon) of a sugar plantation owner, Paul Holland (Tom Conway), on the island of St. Sebastian in the West Indies.
		The island natives, however, believe her state is the result of a voodoo curse, and that Jessica is a zombie, neither living nor dead.
		The ambiguity inherent in I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE and Lewton's other films is not without its disadvantages—some viewers may be disgruntled by the lack of hard answers.

	DVD Verdict Review - I Walked With A Zombie / The Body Snatcher
		Elegance is not a quality that zombie movies are known for, but it describes I Walked with a Zombie, which holds a place of distinction as one of Lewton's finest works and one of the most effective horror films of the 1930s.
		Zombie's most powerful devices is its refusal to limit itself to definite answers or present us with the reason behind every event.
		In contrast to the dreamlike Zombie, the horror of The Body Snatcher is concrete, with an emphasis on fleshly horror: body parts, dissections, hands-on murders.

		I Walked With a Zombie, directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced by Val Lewton, is one of the first zombie movies ever created.
		The two obvious zombie characters in this movie are Jessica, a Haitian plantation owner’s wife, and Carfour, a zombified “keeper of the crossroads” in the Haitian jungles.
		Carfour walks with rigid, almost robotic movements that reinforce the fact that he is a zombie.

		I Walked With a Zombie was Jacques Tourneur’s second collaboration with Lewton, and he has to take a lot of credit for the film’s effectiveness.
		I Walked With a Zombie and The Body Snatcher are released on a single dual-layered disc as part of the Val Lewton Horror Collection box set.

		She dies immediately after the wedding, and her corpse is disputed by Beaumont and his sick love for her; Legendre, that wants her for his team of zombies; and Neil, who is convinced by the local missionary Dr. Bruner (Joseph Cawthorn) that she might be alive.
		"White Zombie" is certainly one of the first movies of zombies with a weird non-corresponded romance of Beaumont for Madeleine.
		The zombies, differently from the latest horror movies, are not evil, since they simply obey the command of the villain Legendre.

		One of the more high-minded zombie films you'll find, I Walked With a Zombie is as much (melo)drama as it is horror.
		There's not a hint of the humor that was to propel the spoof Zombies on Broadway two years later, nor the explicit brain-munching that was to propel, well, every zombie movie from Night of the Living Dead onward.
		Anyway, for the time, the fl characters in IWWAZ are fairly dignified; there's no shuckin' and jivin' going on here, although all of them are, of course, servants and/or voodoo worshipers.

		Trivia: 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 cliché.
		Fans of more recent zombie classics such as 'Dawn of the Dead' should note that this is film isn't your 'normal' zombie film, and actually plays out as more of a psychological drama than anything.
		I Walked with a Zombie is an absolute classic and a must see for any fan of cinema.

		In I Walked with a Zombie, the sugar work is part of a legacy of slavery.
		Later, in the canteen sequence that introduces the heroine of the film, she walks down a complex entrance way to the cantina.
		I Walked With a Zombie is an impressive achievement, but most of the Lewton films I have seen, whether directed by Tourneur or others, have just not pleased me. They tend to be cruel, and full of unpleasant material.

		This may be the most beautiful zombie movie ever made, as long as you like long, slow shots of women in white nightgowns walking through fields.
		I have no idea what he was doing in there, but his ridiculous "come hither, zombie" dance was brilliant.
		Now, had he been responsible for turning his wife into a zombie, preferably to exact a passionately angry revenge for her betrayal of him, then we'd have something.

	Review: I Walked with a Zombie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The "zombie," (if that is what she is), is a beautiful, mindless woman who wanders around in a flowing white gown.
		The scene in which Betsy "walks with a zombie" through the cane fields is superb.
		But undercutting her story, outside the secret room, the voodoo priest is testing Jessica and finding that she doesn't bleed (and hence she really is a zombie, as far as the voodoo followers are concerned).

	I Walked with a Zombie
		Once upon a time, I encountered a review of Jacques Tourneur’s I Walked with a Zombie whose author contended that the movie’s main worth was its instructive value— “Watch this one to remind yourself how boring zombies were before George Romero came along.” I couldn’t agree more.
		I Walked with a Zombie has a couple of good ideas, one really good scene, and a single genuinely scary zombie, but on the whole, this is one tedious flick.
		With her moonlighting as the houngan’s sidekick, she’d also be ideally placed to lay a zombie curse on the woman who had driven a wedge through the center of her family.

		Always mentioned in the same breath as Lugosi's White Zombie as one of the seminal films in the sub-genre, this is one awesome old school chiller.
		This flick shares a lot with White Zombie, which predated it by more than a decade, in that the protagonist comes to the sugar plantation from outside and discovers skeletons and worse in the family closets.
		The nice symbolic touches in the cinematography, particularly in the use of shadow (the shadow "bars" caging Simone Simon in her apartment, the shadow bird playing around the mouth of the painted panther).

		I Walked with a Zombie is often described as "Jane Eyre in the West Indies".

		A nurse comes to a plantation in the West Indies to care for the wife of the owner, who appears to have lost all will of her own.
		This is the Val Lewton film I think most effectively walks the line between fantasy and reality; you're never quite sure whether the wife's ailment is medical or supernatural.
		There are also several memorable scenes, my favorites being Sir Lancelot's memorable song which serves as a Greek chorus to the story, and the unforgettable walk through the jungle where the nurse encounters Carrefour (Darby Jones), the most striking zombie in classic cinema.
