White Zombie follows a young couple traveling in Haiti who encounter a mysterious plantation owner who has mastered voodoo and uses it to control the living dead. As one of the earliest zombie-themed films, the story centers on obsession, supernatural control, and the loss of free will as the undead are raised and manipulated for personal gain.
Starring Bela Lugosi, the film is widely regarded as a foundational entry in horror cinema, establishing early zombie mythology and atmosphere that influenced decades of genre films.
