This was the film Jacques Tourneur made the year after he made the great Cat People. Must have seen I Walked With a Zombie 20 times and it never loses its power. A really amazing film noir, one of the very best. Scary, sensitive, poetic, mysterious, this film has it all in spades. Tourneur has a wonderful touch for balancing horror and poetry.He later went on to direct The Leopard Man, Experiment Perilous, Out Of the Past and Curse Of the Demon,all excellent films that showcased his direction.
So few 'likes' for this outstanding sequence. Impossible to imagine any improvement possible in acting, editing and sound. As below - overwhelming and hypnotic.
Best scene in the film! Overwhelming and hypnotic if you see it on the big screen in a theater. TV tends to kill the subtlety of the old horror classics.
That's what I admire fangznclaws, a lot of creativity to deal with low budgets, however, a masterpiece of cinema called class B, which surpasses many works of the so-called Class A
According to silenceseaandsky ,..... thanks for uploading this great scene, wonderful, haunting, mysterious .. and the sound of the wind, those distant drums, the beautiful black and white .. all wonderful
thank you for uploading this beautiful, eerie and haunting scene from Lewton/Tourneur´s I walked with a zombie .But it is very hard to find on Youtube -as if its hidden deep inside a sugar cane field.....

a demonstration of Val Lewton's breathtaking beauty and bemusement. the white nightgown flowing from behind her in this clip is a stroke of mastery.

@jalopez1748 All so true. Too few horror films rise to the artistry displayed here, proof that thoughtfulness and creativity still trump big budgets.
