HD Film: I Walked With A Zombie

Despite the penny-dreadful title, this is a beautiful, beautifully paced psychological thriller, with an intelligent look at a culture clash between European mores and Afro-Caribbean 'realities'. The sort of film that makes you glad to be alive, with some scenes that linger for a long time afterwards. Nice to be realised that they were making such things 60 years ago! Not surprising that Jaques Tourneur was also responsible for the wonderful "Cat People" (NB NOT the Paul Schraeer version!!!).
