Product Description:
Literary classics become screen horror classics when given the Lewton touch. Take the gothic romance of Jane Eyre reset it in the West Indies add the direction of Jacques Tourneur (Cat People) and the overriding terror of the living dead and you have I Walked with a Zombie. Frances Dee plays the nurse who witnesses the strange power of voodoo. Boris Karloff plays the title role in the Lewton adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Body Snatcher directed with subtle calculation by versatile Robert Wise. A doctor (Henry Daniell) needs cadavers for medical studies and Karloff is willing to provide them one way or another. Don't miss his scene with fellow horror icon Bela Lugosi.Running Time: 147 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 053939724325

THE BODY SNATCHER---(1945)---(directed by Robert Wise)---Boris Karloff, Henry Daniell, Bela Lugosi, Edith Atwater, Rita Corday, Russell Wad, Sharyn Moffett.
One of the nine "horror" films produced at RKO in the early to mid-40's by Val Lewton, widely acknowledged as the "Father of the Psychological Horror Film". Lewton's guiding principle was that the thing that we fear the most is the, "unknown". Hitchcock's, PSYCHO, owes much to Lewton's approach to making a "horror" movie. The script is ... Read More

I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE is producer Val Lewton's second horror picture. The story is told from Betsy's voiceover in the beginning of the story. Betsy is a nurse who accepts a job in the Caribbean. When she arrives the island seems beautiful enough, in fact even on the ship there everything is beautiful to Betsy, although her new boss assures that things are not as beautiful as they seem. And that everything is death. It is after this encounter that Betsy admits to liking Mr. Paul Holland.

This disk includes two feature films, both produced by Val Lewton in the mid 1940's. In that time period Lewton produced a handful of horror movies for RKO Studios, of which these are two. Lewton used several directors and writers for these movies, but they all share a similar literary quality and eschew the shock and scare of other horror movies of the time for a more creepy and atmospheric experience.
"I walked With a Zombie" is not nearly as lurid as the title would suggest, it is ... Read More

"I Walked with a Zombie" (1943) is the latest film I've seen in my attempt to review every zombie movie ever made. I am not reviewing this through the eyes of a film enthusiast trying to understand the brilliance of one of Val Lewton's masterpieces. Rather, I'm going to attempt to review the film more through the eyes of a person fanatically obsessed with all things "zombie" (though, that is not to imply that I am a merely a philistine). The story is of nurse, Betsy Connell, who was sent to a Caribbean ... Read More

These are two of the finest films of the very fine Val Lewton Collection. I walked with a Zombie is, oddly enough, a very elegant treatment of the walking dead. Lewton's favorite director, Jacques Tourneur, was at the helm, giving the subject the correct weight and just enough darkness. No one in the history of film could have made this movie but Val Lewton.
Think of it: RKO studios came to Lewton and gave him a title - I Walked With A Zombie - with directions to make a quick, effective zombie ... Read More
