Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

OK, so I think my favorite part of this movie was the zombie makeup effects. I loved the bug eyes and the transformation scene. Now, the main character was kinda annoying (at least at first). All his womanizing and bad pickup lines. But for me the zombies made up for it lol.

What can I say about this one? It's odd - it uses snake venom modified to create the zombies. The natives believe in human sacrifice but it has to be a blonde virgin female. The movie really is nothing new as far as your average classic zombie movies go but adds its own twist like most all of them do - and it's kind of an odd one.If you like the older style of zombie films then this one is just "ok" to watch - it's nothing special but not a complete snooze to watch either. Another slightly less than a middle of the road production.I like the dancers in the film, in fact the scenes of the voodoo priest and his group are the best parts of this film to me. The rest of the film is meh! The acting is lacking but tolerable to watch. And the story, again, is just so-so. Watchable zombie film.4/10

Filmed in black and white with a very low budget this movie obviously won't suit everyone's taste. Personally, I enjoyed it because it wasn't trying to be one of those "so bad it's good" zombie movies that seem to crop up just about everywhere these days. In this particular film, "Dr Biladeau" (Robert Stanton) is looking for a cure for cancer and he chooses to set up his lab on "Voodoo Island" which is located somewhere in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, a novelist named "Tom Harris" (William Joyce) is in search of new ideas for his next book and is convinced by his agent "Duncan Fairchild" (Dan Stapleton) to accompany him and his wife "Carol Fairchild" to this island. When they arrive a zombie attempts to kill Tom Harris but is chased away just in the nick of time. Later, zombies also try to capture a beautiful blonde virgin named "Jeannie Biladeau" (Heather Hewitt) for a sacrifice in a voodoo ceremony. At any rate, with a plot like that does it really matter that the special effects are bad or the script was awful? Hey, it's a campy late-50's horror movie with zombies and a damsel in distress. What's not to like? Just be advised that these zombies are the "pre-Romero" sort who don't eat human flesh. Although, why anyone would think they would is another question altogether.

This one is pretty much one of my favourite black and white b-movies. It's got the lot: cheese, cheese, and even cheese! A playboy romance writer is plucked from his poolside harem for reasons I never quite managed to figure out to go to Voodoo Island, where, in a plot strikingly similar to Zombie Holocaust, a doctor is working on something or other involving snakes. I think the doctor tried to explain what he was doing at some point, but I was too caught up in all the zombie action.You've got to love the writer character. He's not above revealing himself from his vantage point of watching a girl skinny dipping when a zombie comes looking for her. Also, he's tough enough to get over witnessing a native getting decapitated to try and get into that skinny dipping girls pants! There's voodoo, zombies, punch-ups with zombies, chase sequences, slapstick comedy, spousal abuse (the writer thinks its hilarious!), and unluckily a bit of animal cruelty that I missed the first 50 times I watched this. It's all fun at the end of the day and if several hundred people get killed in an explosion, it's alright as long as you end sipping booze by the pool.Good stuff.
