The Crypt — Free to watch
Revolt of the Zombies
Directed by Victor Halperin
Four years after White Zombie made horror history, the Halperin brothers tried to bottle lightning twice. No Lugosi this time, no Haiti either. A French officer crawls back from the trenches of the Great War into Indochina, obsessed with the secret of zombie command. He cracks the ritual in a Cambodian temple and turns it on the woman who broke his heart. The brothers even recycled the hypnotic eyes from the original, floating across the screen like ghosts of a better film. A Poverty Row pseudo-sequel about love weaponized into mind control. Cinematic graverobbing in the best sense.
