Comment
A woman returns to the island of her birth, with her husband, daughter and assistant, which she left after her parents were killed as a vodoo ceremony, and is drawn back into the vodoo culture. This is an early West Indian vodoo film with Dorothy Burgess getting drawn back into voddo and Fay Wray as the strength behind the family. This pre dates the better know Val Lewton film I Walked With A Zombie, which has references to this film.
