The Dead One

The Dead One (aka Blood of the Zombie!) is a 1961 horror film. It takes place on a Louisiana plantation where cousins -one a businessman, one a voodoo practitioner- are fighting over control of the family land. Long thought lost, it was rediscovered in 2002. I'm thinking we wouldn't have missed much if it'd been left undiscovered. I didn't finish it. You can watch it online at Plex.

  3. I had to laugh at your critique of the film. I take it, the film remaining lost might have been a blessing!

    1. I'm sure the people who were associated with it are happy it was discovered, and zombie film completists can stop wondering now, but as a viewer... I'm not needing to finish it ;)

  5. Too bad this film didn't work out. The premise isn't bad.

    1. It is an interesting premise. I suppose I could give it another chance, but with so many untried movies out there I probably won't.

  6. Zombies are always scary! I'm going to re-watch Elm Street this evening! Have a great day, Valerie
