Jacques Tourneur’s Timbuktu is an old-fashioned Foreign Legion adventure movie, in fact even a little old-fashioned by the standards of 1958. That’s probably why I liked it so much. As a bonus it stars Victor Mature and Yvonne de Carlo.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I Walked With a Zombie (1943), the best voodoo movie ever made and the best zombie movie ever made. A superb example of subtle intelligent character-driven horror.

Directed by Jacques Tourneur for Val Lewton's RKO B unit.

Inspired by Charlotte Brontë’s great gothic novel Jane Eyre.

It treats voodoo quite seriously and without sensationalism.
