Saw Bela Luguosi's "White Zombie" (1932) this afternoon. Not up there with "Dracula" but still good horror. Nice spooky atmosphere throughout and a nice take on the zombie genre (Bela essentially controls a legion of Haitian zombies with his mind). Only 3.5 out of 5 stars due to not-so-great acting by the rest of the cast. In the public domain, too!

still havnt seen that classic,i can watch it on the net for free...but for some reason good classics like that i have to own and have in my old school collection

I think David Manners is outstanding as a haunted/tortured soul. This is still, IMO, the best zombie movie.

Rasputin The Mad Monk:Hammer film starring Christopher Lee as the titular character and what a performance he gives!! He completely nailed it and in this film more than any I felt he showed exceptional character depth-he really is very consistent in how he portrays the behaviour of the character e.g the way he uses silence like it's a weapon itself. May not appeal to everyone as it's more about plotting, scheming and lust for power rather than showcasing much killing at least until towards the end. Also I'll admit I expected it to be more campy and unintentionally funny than it actually was but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Essential for any Hammer Fans (no pun intended). :)

Fantastic, although a tad long. My love for courtroom films keeps on increasing.

Underrated Hammer classic. Anton Diffring is absolutely superb in his portrayal of the horrific doctor.

Read your review on FB. It's a Hammer film I've never seen. I'll have to catch it some day.

I am surprised! :eek: Seriously though, definitely give it a watch.

Decent movie, ***.

Bela takes a turn as an evil doctor who engineers a giant killing (paper mache?) bat. More of a mystery than a horror per se. I could think of worse ways to kill an hour.
