I can have appreciation for B grade films, or even Z grade films, but it has to either entertain or hold my attention thru a character, practical effects, music so on. This postumous Karloff release somehow manages to take snakes,voodoo, zombies, and make basically an unentertaining, virtually unwatchable film. A Police chief from Paris is sent to the island to whip the dept into shape, and is introduced to the voodoo that's going on Turing local dead into zombie cane field workers. Karloff doesn't have much screen time and ending is effective. The only two scenes that were memorable one actress locks lips with a mirrored double of herself, a risky taboo of its day in 68, the other is when the priestess grabs the arms of zombies black actress and her body begins to smoke and cremate in front of Crenshaw, an excellent effect. Not scary, not interesting, not entertaining. 1/5.
