I Walked with a Zombie
She's alive…yet dead! She's dead…yet alive!
Directed by Jacques Tourneur
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A gothic, atmospheric meditation on desire and guilt set in a tropical island where voodoo, superstition, and psychological torment blur the line between the living and the dead.
A nurse in the Caribbean turns to voodoo in hopes of curing her patient, a mindless woman whose husband she's fallen in love with.
