It sounds interesting. I'll have to check that out soon. <br /><br />I only discovered it a few years ago after reading Jamie Russell's excellent Book of the Dead, but I Walked with a Zombie is one of my favorite "classic" horror films. It's up there with Dracula and Frankenstein. Definitely a must see for any self-respecting horror fan.Anthony1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248412350057541992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-63521367630942511492009-12-10T04:35:57.965-05:002009-12-10T04:35:57.965-05:00Thanks for your review: I adore this film.

Great film.James Graceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-52519146848884694192009-12-09T14:15:33.704-05:002009-12-09T14:15:33.704-05:00Thanks a whole lot for this suggestion, I was not ...Thanks a whole lot for this suggestion, I was not aware that it was directed by Jaques Tornier, he is the same guy who directed the excelent "Night of the Demon" on which Raimi's Drag me to Hell was inspired on. <br /><br />Night of the Demon is also a very moody atmospheric piece, highly recommend you check that one out at some point, if you havent already. If you want to know what I thought about it, check out my review for it here: <br /><br />http://filmconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2009/10/night-of-demon-1957-aka-curse-of-demon.htmlFranco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-23299722907647484142009-12-09T12:42:30.131-05:002009-12-09T12:42:30.131-05:00One of my all-time faves.

Plus, it scooped the whole "Pride and Prejudice with Zombies" phenomenon by more than half a century--a zombie movie based on the classic <i>Jane Eyre</i>!<br /><br />This is a great dvd. The other feature, THE BODY SNATCHER, is another of my all-time faves, with what's for my money Boris Karloff's greatest performance.The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.com
