White Zombie

This is the very first, and one of the best zombie films. An independent effort with the look of a studio film it still holds up remarkably well. None of this running around and nibbling on brains business.

White Zombie on Wikipedia.
White Zombie on IMDB.



The movie features Bela Lugosi. To quote IMDB: "Béla Lugosi in one of his top performances, in a unique and visually-striking makeup."



The movie is essentially a misguided love story where instead of getting the girl, the guy gets a zombie. Not quite what he asked for.
