My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

I Walked With A Zombie (1943)

More of an elegant supernatural mystery than a horror film (at least for today's standards), this film features Zombies in the Voodoo tradition.  A young nurse named Betty (played by Frances Dee, who is really memorable in this movie) travels to West Indies to care for the catatonic wife, Jennifer, of a plantation manager.  Betty uncovers that there was a love triangle set against two brothers and that the woman she's caring for might not be a live anymore. Grade: B+.
