David Valkenet’s review:
I started filling in my Val Lewton shaped cinematic blind-spot with I Walked With a Zombie. It was everything I had been led to expect from Lewton and Tourneur; atmospheric, inventive, suggestive and creepy. Definitely a slow build but the pay off justifies the somewhat languid pace of the oepning.
Can't wait to explore more Lewton/Tourneur collaborations.
It's great, isn't it? Cat People is superb, too.
So I've heard! It's my next stop. Then maybe Ghost Ship or perhaps The Leopard Man.
