Wonderful film - really rises above the cheesy-sounding title
Don't let the cheesy-sounding title put you off: this is NOT one of those 1950's-style sci-fi/zombie creature-features that used to play at drive-in theaters. This is actually a truly well-done film - one of the best Black and White pictures I've seen.
Very moody, atmoshperic, mysterious, and best of all, it features a really beautiful Frances Dee as Betsy Connell, a Canadian nurse dispatched to a Caribbean island to care for a sugar plantation owner's wife: a mysterious woman who is in a zombie-like state.
The movie has many interesting comments on life, death, love, illness, the legacy of slavery, etc. Worth watching more than once.
