Betsy Connell believed she had seen strange behavior from her patients, but nothing in her training and experience has prepared her for the voodoo, horror and walking undead of a Caribbean island in I Walked with a Zombie! Who said the dead don't walk? Connell (Frances Dee) travels to the Caribbean to care for the comatose wife of plantation owner Paul Holland (Tom Conway). But as Connell starts to fall in love with Holland, she gradually realizes that her patient is not comatose: She neither lives nor dies, existing as something not quite human and not quiet demon.

Critics Consensus: Evocative direction by Jacques Tourneur collides with the low-rent production values of exploitateer Val Lewton in I Walked with a Zombie, a sultry sleeper that's simultaneously smarmy, eloquent and fascinating.

Reviews

Slant Magazine

Chuck Bowen

Controversial issues imbue the gothic hugger-mugger of this film and The Seventh Victim with intimacy and intensity.

As a pure shocker, I Walked with a Zombie has its moments. Weird lighting effects and the Calypso music and singing of Sir Lancelot heighten the eerie illusion.

Tourneur apparently has that art of generating the "mystic atmosphere," which is so important in these eerie film plays.

Vance King

Its many ingredients, most of them calculated to tingle the spine, are woven by producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourner in such fashion as to make them agreeable to the fans seeking thrills.

It's good "escape" stuff, this RKO Radio production... A most dramatic beginning is offset by the confusion in the ending, but it will still give you the creeps, pretty nearly all the way through.
