To Eyre is inhuman

I Walked with a Zombie

(1943)

Don't be fooled by the National Enquirer-style title, and try not to pay much attention to the drab, plebeian language--or the drab, plebeian leading man. How this vodou riff on Jane Eyre works is via the dark, shadowy atmospherics that were the stock-in-trade for producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur. Not a great film, but a pretty effective one, and if you're looking for a 68-minute shiverer, this is an excellent choice.
