Amazon.com:
Bela Lugosi followed up his star-making role in Dracula with this ambitious low-budget horror film from the Halperin brothers, who effectively transplanted the misty gothic mood of the Universal horror films to their poverty-row studio. White Zombie drips with atmosphere from the opening, as eerie chanting accompanies the credits and Madeleine (Madge Bellamy) arrives at midnight to witness a mysterious burial before coming face to face with the satanic looking Murder Legendre (Lugosi with goatee and searing eyes), a hypnotist and voodoo master who has been supplying the local mills with an army of zombie laborers. Madeleine's nightmare is just beginning. Having landed in a world of almost perpetual night, where hollow-eyed zombies lumber through the sugar mill and the ghostly town is eerily bereft of living souls, she becomes the object of desire for Legendre, whose plan to possess her involves her initiation to the world of the undead. This first zombie movie is also one of the best, with Lugosi's archly sinister performance dominating the film (thankfully obscuring a lot of overacting by supporting players), and astounding sets and gorgeous matte paintings creating a wondrous sense of poetic doom. --Sean Axmaker



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - More Disappointing Versions of "White Zombie"
Like the other versions of United Artists' "White Zombie" (1932) I've seen on DVD, the one from A2ZCDS is yet another disappointment. Unlike the other versions (e.g., Roan, Triad), A2Z's was billed (in Amazon's "Product Details" list) as having subtitles -- which led me to hope I might finally find out what the actors are saying, despite the background hiss that seems always to accompany this film. No such luck! When I stuck the eagerly awaited disk in my DVD player, there were no subtitles to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie - terrible transfer
I give the movie five stars, but the transfer one star. There has to be a better copy of this film somewhere. This looks like it was taken from a worn out VHS tape. I think it's Bela Lugosi's best performance - even better than Dracula. I'll look for a better copy...



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - its missing something
ok i love white zombie and all however this copy from this exact company isnt good at all ,, teh sound is off and alot softer ,, the drums int eh begginign should thump really loud. Plus the black and white seems a bit bleached out



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Did not get the re-mastered edition that I paid for
Does anyone at the Amazon.com warehouse actually pay any attention to what they're mailing? My old VHS edition of this film looks better than the one I bought from Amazon. I did NOT get what I paid for.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Buy a different version
I'm not sure why this version of White Zombie is labelled "enhanced" -- I bought it expecting a better copy than the three versions of White Zombie that I already own, and instead got a worse copy, dark and grainy and overexposed. It's not horrible, but there are definitely better prints of this film that you can buy at the same price or cheaper. (Note that the other reviews on this page, which rave about the quality of the DVD and the extras, do NOT refer to this copy, but to "Horror Classics Volume ... Read More
