(Devil's
Advocates)
I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Val Lewton's
second feature for
RKO Radio Pictures, was
3
described by critic Robin Wood as 'perhaps the
most delicate poetic fantasy in the
American Cinema.' Following immediately in the
wake of the groundbreaking Cat People (1942),
Zombie pioneered an even more radical narrative
approach yet proved to be the critical and
commercial equal of its predecessor, cementing
the reputation of both Lewton and his director,
Jacques Tourneur.Despite the lurid,
studio-imposed title, I Walked with a Zombie is
a subtle and ambiguous visual poem that advanced
a daring condemnation of slavery and colonialism
at a time when such themes were being actively
suppressed by government censors. Clive Dawson
charts the complex development and production of
the project, essential to understanding the
concerns of the filmmakers in the context of
wartime Hollywood, then analyses the film in
detail, referencing a broad range of academic
studies of the audio-visual text and distilling
new insight into its layers of meaning. Finally,
he explores the film's reception, and the
influence it exerted on the horror genre and
beyond. Extensive primary research has uncovered
a wealth of previously unpublished new material
that solves many unanswered questions and
dispels various myths about this utterly unique
film.
