I Walked with a Zombie Reviews

To be honest, I wonder how I actually ended up watching this flick. Indeed, at first, I thought that it was included in the list ‘1001 movies you must see before you die’ but it wasn’t the case. Anyway, with such a title, you would get nowadays something really cheesy but more than 70 years ago, it was a really different kind of ball game. Indeed, with this movie, they gave a completely different approach to the zombie concept than the bloodsuckers we are used to get today. To be honest, the story was rather unfocused from time to time but, even so, the whole thing was usually quite mesmerizing to watch. In  my opinion, it was above all thanks to the eerie directing with some great use of black and white and the shadows and lights. I have to admit it, it was also sometimes borderline discriminating (for example, the natives were either some obedient servants or some primitive savages) but it was tolerable and it was not surprising for a movie produced 70 years ago. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was a decent classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
