- "'xxbos xxmaj this is not really a zombie film , if we \\'re xxunk zombies as the dead walking around . xxmaj here the protagonist , xxmaj xxunk xxmaj louque ( played by an xxunk young xxmaj dean xxmaj xxunk ) , xxunk control of a method to create zombies , though in fact , his \\' method \\' is to mentally project his thoughts and control other living people \\'s minds turning them into xxunk slaves . xxmaj this is an interesting concept for a movie , and was done much more effectively by xxmaj xxunk xxmaj lang in his series of \\' xxmaj dr. xxmaj mabuse \\' films , including \\' xxmaj dr. xxmaj mabuse the xxmaj xxunk \\' ( xxunk ) and \\' xxmaj the xxmaj testament of xxmaj dr. xxmaj mabuse \\' ( 1933 ) . xxmaj here it is unfortunately xxunk to his quest to regain the love of his former fianc\u00e9e , xxmaj claire xxmaj duvall ( played by the xxmaj anne xxmaj xxunk look alike with a bad xxunk , xxmaj dorothy xxmaj stone ) which is really the major theme . \\n \\n xxmaj the movie has an intriguing beginning , as xxmaj louque is sent on a military xxunk expedition to xxmaj xxunk to end the cult of zombies that came from there . xxmaj at some type of compound ( where we get great 30s sets and clothes ) he xxunk his xxunk to xxmaj claire , and then barely five minutes later , she gives him back his ring xxunk her love for his pal , xxmaj xxunk xxmaj greyson ( xxmaj robert xxmaj xxunk ) . xxmaj it \\'s unintentionally funny the way they talk to each other without making eye contact . xxmaj this would have been a great movie for \\' xxmaj mystery xxmaj science xxmaj theater xxunk \\' , if they had n\\'t already xxunk it . \\n \\n xxmaj it \\'s never shown how xxmaj louque actually learns the \\' xxunk \\' secret , but he then uses it to kill his enemies , create a giant army of xxunk carrying soldiers and body guards . xxmaj we wo n\\'t see such sheer force of will until xxmaj john xxmaj xxunk in \\' xxmaj the xxmaj brain xxmaj from xxmaj planet xxmaj xxunk \\' ( xxunk ) . \\n \\n xxmaj finally xxmaj claire xxunk to marry him if he will let xxmaj greyson live and return to xxmaj america . xxmaj louque agrees , but actually turns him into one of his xxunk slaves . xxmaj on their wedding night he realizes that xxmaj claire will only begin to love him if he gives up his \\' powers . \\' xxmaj to gain her love , he does so , causing the \\' revolt \\' of the title , in which all his slaves xxunk and attack his compound and kill him . xxmaj greyson xxunk xxmaj claire , and we seem to be at the end of a parable : \" xxmaj whom the xxunk would destroy , they first make mad . \" \\n \\n xxmaj so really then , it \\'s not that bad of a film , despite the low imdb rating it currently has . xxmaj on repeated viewings ( ? ) one can see the xxunk in the well formed script ! xxmaj dean xxmaj xxunk had yet to develop into a good actor , and is almost unrecognizable in his xxunk -- is that really his own hair ? xxmaj we remember him more for his xxunk , old man roles in \\' xxmaj white xxmaj christmas \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' x xxmaj the xxmaj unknown \\' ( 1956 ) and \\' xxmaj king xxmaj xxunk \\' ( 1958 ) . xxmaj the story xxunk a lot of its basic themes from the xxmaj xxunk brothers better , earlier film \\' xxmaj white xxmaj zombie \\' ( xxunk ) in which xxunk xxmaj robert xxmaj xxunk ( as xxmaj charles xxmaj xxunk ) uses \\' xxunk \\' to win the love of xxmaj xxunk xxmaj xxunk ( as xxmaj xxunk xxmaj parker ) . \\n \\n xxmaj if you want real zombie movies ( of which there are hundreds ! ) i \\'d start with \\' xxmaj white xxmaj zombie \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' xxmaj king of the xxmaj zombies \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' i xxmaj walked with a xxmaj zombie \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' xxmaj night of the xxmaj living xxmaj dead \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' xxmaj the xxmaj last xxmaj man on xxmaj earth \\' ( 1964 ) and its two xxunk . xxmaj in the modern era of classy films , there are \\' xxmaj horror xxmaj express \\' ( 1972 ) , \\' xxmaj the xxmaj xxunk and the xxmaj xxunk \\' ( xxunk ) , \\' 28 xxmaj days xxmaj later \\' ( 2002 ) and its sequel , as well as many , many , others too numerous to mention . \\n \\n xxmaj this one is not really a zombie film . xxmaj judging this movie on its own terms , it \\'s more of a semi - xxmaj gothic romance . xxmaj as such it ranks a little below some of xxmaj universal \\'s bottom billed b horror movies of the late 30s and early xxunk . xxmaj so i \\'ll give it a 5 .'"
