King of the Zombies

1941 · 67 min

A creaky, silly old dark-house romp where spooky voodoo atmosphere and slapstick comedy collide, more goofy than scary.

Tagline: HUMAN SACRIFICES! SAVAGE TORTURE! VOODOO RITES!
Overview: During World War II, a small plane somewhere over the Caribbean runs low on fuel and is blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crash-land on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The quick-witted yet easily-frightened manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies and ghosts.
How it feels: Campy, eerie, absurd and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, power, fate, survival
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
