9/10
Horror Maven, Wes Craven, Does it Again!!
18 January 2004
Warning: Spoilers
The best, most realistic movie featuring zombies and the darker aspects of the Haitian way of life ever made! While this movie was billed as a "true story," one must remember it was "BASED ON" a true story. The story surrounding the actual facts, well, that is up to the viewer to decide. That not withstanding, this was a purely entertaining endeavor with some of the best elements of voodoo mysticism I've ever seen.

This movie was extremely disturbing for me on many levels. The story was compelling, the acting was exceptional, the dialog was believable to those who are enlightened, the sets and scenery was breathtakingly realistic, and this production was even greater than the sum of its marvelous parts.

It was frightening, suspenseful, intriguing, and thrilling. We were horrified, dismayed and thoroughly entertained by this endeavor. The explanation of zombies and their origins, as Haitian lore is indeed the birthplace of these creatures, was wonderfully told and brilliantly presented.

Don't bury me! I'm not dead! Absolutely wonderful.

It rates an 8.8/10 from...
