White Zombie was interesting and weird, and I like weird. So the movie was about this dude and his fiance's trip to Haiti for their wedding. The dudes friend falls in love with his fiance and has Bela Lugosi's character turn her into his undead love slave. Not only does that make his friend a necrophiliac but it makes him a creep. Bela's power over the undead can only be controlled if he concentrates so if his mind wonders just a little bit than the curse is lifted and the person is alive again. Hmm thats a bit strange, arent zombies supposed to be dead forever? Oh well, the movie is a great classic so I say lets not dwell on its flaws and realize what it is, a cheese ball of a zombie movie. A lovely, lovely cheese ball of a zombie movie.

The Haitian voodoo zombie is not "dead" per se. It could be considered more as a resurrected mindless slave thats either controlled by the bokur(dark voodoo priest), or the person who had the bokur make the zombie. While White Zombie doesn't follow precisely the voodoo "rules" of zombiedom, its usually regarded as America's first glance of the voodoo zombie, and most definitely as the start of the zombie genre. For a real in depth look at voodoo zombies, I highly suggest watching "The Serpent and The Rainbow" directed by Wes Craven, based on Wade Davis' book which he wrote after going to Haiti to research the Voodoo religion.
