This movie begins with a village witch doctor in Haiti giving a local plantation owner named "Klili Gordon" (Fredi Washington) a magical amulet to protect her. Not long afterward, she falls in love with a white man named Adam Maynard (Philip Brandon) who owns a plantation nearby. To her surprise, when Adam returns from a trip to the United States, he brings a another woman back with him by the name of "Eve Langley" (Marie Paxton) and announces that she is soon to become his new bride. This infuriates Klili who subsequently puts a death curse upon Eve that sends her into a deep and deadly coma. Fortunately, Adam manages to negate the curse when he confronts Klili about it. But Klili's anger only intensifies when he rejects her because of their racial differences and this prompts her to delve even deeper into the black arts in order to destroy her new rival. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie was filmed during the Great Depression and like a number of pictures produced back then is relatively short (only 56 minutes or so). Additionally, the manner in which zombies were portrayed was quite different during this period as well. Be that as it may, while this film is certainly quite dated and has several other faults as well, it still retains some of its charm and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
