I Walked with a Zombie (1943)

A young Canadian nurse comes to the West Indies to care for Jessica, the wife of a plantation manager.

Stylish and atmospheric horror film classic despite the silly title and a not so thrilling plot.

Halliwell *: "Mild horror from the famous Lewton package; some style, but generally thin stuff, the plot having been mirthfully borrowed from Jane Eyre."

Maltin ***1/2: "Exceptional Val Lewton chiller with rich atmosphere, mesmerizing story."
