"Your driver believed he saw dead men... walking."A young couple Madeleine (Madge Bellamy) and Neil (John Harron) are convinced by new acquaintance Charles Beaumont (Robert Frazer) to get married in his mansion on Haiti. Unfortunately, Beaumont is in love with Madeleine and intends to seduce her. In order to do so he visits Murder Legendre (Bela Lugosi), the local witch doctor, who gives him a potion to transform Madeleine into a zombie. The marriage goes without a hitch, but soon after Madeleine mysteriously dies. Whilst Beaumont and Legendre fight over who will take possession of her, missionary Dr. Bruner (Joseph Cawthorn) is convinced that she might still be alive.
A low budget horror that made millions when first released. A fascinating early horror, which is essentially a silent movie. with minimal dialogue.
