1943: I Walked with a Zombie

The nurse Betsy Connell is hired to care for Jessica Holland, who lives with her husband on a Caribbean island where they do the voodoo. Jessica appears to be caught in a state of constant sleepwalking. Is it a mental illness - or is Jessica a zombie? - The film is only 68 minutes long, but especially in the first half it appears that's too much for the little story there is. Though it's considered a minor classic, I found it to be just the B-picture that it actually is, although the last three or so minutes are really strong. (5.5)
