King Of The Zombies 6/10
We stumbled upon this strange movie while just trying to find things to watch. This is just over an hour and a easy and odd watch. This pilot named Mac is up in the air with Bill Summers and Jefferson Jackson when he realizes that the plane is low on fuel and they can't get in contact with anyone. They get a faint signal and decide to land there. And by land there I mean completely crash the hell out of the plane. By the way, when Jefferson popped up on screen me and L both gasped at the same time “A Black!” Its a thing I do with old movies. Its rare to find one where a Black person isn't a servant in the background and has speaking roles. This movie had plenty of Black people which caught my ass off guard. They end up at this weird ass dudes place named Dr. Miklos Sangre and his wife. Jefferson knows some weird things are up and mentions zombies which was still a new term in 1941. He sees the Dr.'s wife doing some spooky shit one night and vanishes into a wall. Fast forward a whole lot of nothing really but some funny parts and the pilot gets his ass turned into a zombie and someone has ruined the plane so it really can't take off. During a ritual Mac gets the spell broken as the Dr. falls his goofy ass into some flames freeing all the other zombie folk. Maybe that is how zombie rules were back then. There was a cute maid named Samantha in this who looked like she time traveled.
