Review of Black Moon

Black Moon (1934)
5/10
A movie that hasn't aged well
11 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is set with a young woman raised on a plantation in an unnamed Caribbean island is sent to America where she marries and has a family, but is captivated by the mysticism of voodoo.

Her largely clueless husband allows her to return with her child and sends his secretary, who is secretly carrying a torch for him. Since the secretary is played by Fay Wray, she is the model of virtue.

Well, the minute the wife gets back, she immediately starts conspiring with the Voodoo High Priest to take over the Island and sacrifice her daughter, as one does in situations like this, I guess. Can our brave white heroes save the day?

It's kind of boring compared to other voodoo movies of the period, we don't even get any zombies... darn it,
