King of The Zombies (1944)

I just purchased this on a DVD with three other flicks- all for $2.83. So my expectations were low going in...

It involved voodoo zombies, and they were dead flesh, and they did attack, so I kinda liked it. The acting is bad, but the zombies actually looked scary and were the highlight of the film. The best part comes at the end (SPOILER, as if anyone cares) when one of the stranded whites dudes who has become a zombie attacks the voodoo priest and the priest is forced to shoot him over and over again with no affect while the dead guy keeps coming forward. Then there is a tacked-on Hollywood ending where they "say" that the white guy was never really dead, and that he is recovering nicely from the bullet wounds. I guess the original ending was too morbid for 1944, with a war on and all...
