(1936, Upgraded 12/4/21) Dean Jagger, Dorothy Stone,Roy D'Arcy, George Cleveland Robert, Noland. Jagger plays an evil genius who uses thought control and poison gas to turn people into his zombie slaves. This was orginally planned as kind of a follow-up to WHITE ZOMBIE, but Lugosi backed out at the last minute. The acting is a little over the top in spots, but there are some very atmospheric settings in the eerie wilds of the Cambodian jungles amidst ancient temples and monuments. There are some very nice uses of closeups, especially with the black zombie faces. The big zombie revolution at the end of the film is great fun. D'Arcy is very sinister as the secondary villain. From 35mm and 16mm.
