I Walked with a Zombie (Tourneur, 1943): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6.10pm
This 35mm presentation, also screening on October 20th, is part of the 'In Dreams Are Monsters' season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
This elegant little 1943 film by Jacques Tourneur, a tale of voodoo and
devil worship in the West Indies, is one of the most poetic works to
emerge from the Val Lewton unit at RKO in the 40s; it transcends the
conventions of the horror genre and remains one of Lewton-Tourneur's
most compelling studies in light and darkness. Not to be missed. With
Frances Dee, Tom Conway, and Edith Barrett.
Don Druker
Here (and above) is the opening to this deeply fascinating movie.
