Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A tepid follow-up to White Zombie, Revolt has Dean Jagger discovering the secret of turning men into zombies, from the "robot army" that built the city of Angkor. Most scenes are static and dialogue heavy, and the story is plodding. There is hardly anything here of interest, even to a cinematic archaeologist, much less seekers of late-night diversion. You might be tempted to excuse this one as an artifact of 1930s cinema. But 1936 was a fair ways into the sound era, and saw the release of such disparate specimens of moving pictures as Hitchcock's Secret Agent, Chaplin's Modern Times, Capra's Mr. Deed Goes to Town, and Astaire and Rogers in Swing Time. Revolt is an oddity at best. It's also packaged as a Fright Night Horror Classic along with Night of the Living Dead and Francis Ford Coppola's debut feature, Dementia 13. --Jim Gay

Well, first off, if you're checking out Revolt of the Zombies as some very early Night of the Living Dead (1968)-type film, forget it. This is about "zombies" in a more psychological sense, where that term merely denotes someone who is not in control of their will, but who must instead follow the will of another. The "zombies" here, as little as they are in the film, are largely metaphors for subservience to the state or authority in general, as in wartime. It is quite a stretch to call this a ... Read More

The word `zombie' is thrown around a lot in this film titled Revolt of the Zombies (1936), and it made me question if the term was being used properly, as I always associated it with regards to reviving and maintaining power over the dead, perhaps through a ritual, or some such manner...well, there were a few definitions (including one for a tall drink made of rum, liqueur, and fruit juice), and one did specify `One who looks or behaves like an automaton'...which is pretty much how the word is used ...

Dean Jagger (yep, the loveable old colonel from White Christmas) plays a man who loses his fiancee to his best friend. Does he just roll over and give her up? No way! He does what any red-blooded american guy would do, he goes to Angkor, discovers an ancient hoodoo secret, and builds an army of killer zombies (these are mesmerized, living folks, NOT living dead flesh-eaters)! Roy D'Arcy tries to stop him and steal the secret, but is dispatched rather quickly by one of the zombie horde. Remember, ROTZ ... Read More

Three and a half stars. Not as bad as some would have you believe, but when it is compared to White Zombie (as it must be), it is found lacking.
The Good:
A lot is right about this movie. Halperin does another good job with a low budget and an exotic setting. While I doubt the crew ever went to SE Asia, the film does an admirable job of transporting the audience to the mysterious time and place of what would be Viet Nam in the years World War One.
In the plot, a meek British soldier ... Read More
