Officially, the film was based on an article written by Inez Wallace for American Weekly Magazine. The film sits just between rationalism and superstition – its duality plays on the conflict between Western Christendom and Caribbean culture, and between medicine and magic. The script never confirms the reality of Voodoo even when it is clear that the Voodoo masters are controlling the zombie Carre- Four.

It's worth noting that Wesley 'falls under the voodoo spell' only after despairing of the hopeless state of affairs at the Hammond house, and sinking into a deep depression. Better natures are stifled, starting a chain of human misery that leads to tragedy. The result – wasted lives and blighted vitality – is as pervasive as the creeping Voodoo beliefs themselves.

Propaganda - Top Documentary Films. On a trip to visit family in Seoul in April, I was approached by a man and a woman who claimed to be North Korean defectors.

They presented me with a DVD that recently came into their possession and asked me to translate it. They also asked me to post the completed film on the Internet so that it could reach a worldwide audience. I believed what I was told and an agreement was made to protect their identities (and mine). Despite my concerns about what I was viewing when I returned home, I proceeded to translate and post the film on You Tube because of the film's extraordinary content. I have now made public my belief that this film was never intended for a domestic audience in the DPRK. Instead, I believe that these people, who presented themselves as 'defectors' specifically targeted me because of my reputation as a translator and interpreter.

Furthermore, I now believe these people work for the DPRK. The fact that I have continued to translate and post the film in spite of this belief does not make me complicit in their intention to spread their ideology. I chose to keep posting this film because - regardless of who made it - I believe people should see it because of the issues it raises and I stand by my right to post it for people to share and discuss freely with each other. According to Sabine the above is the formal statement she gave to Federal Police on 1. June 2. 01. 2. Sabine: I have translated this film, laid in the English voice over and subtitles, and on legal advice have blurred the identity of the presenter and/or blacked out certain elements.
