Revolt of the Zombies(1936) Directed by Victor Halperin   Revolt of the Zombies is a Lacklustre and rather pointless film from 1936. Somebody decided that they wanted to make a film about zombies and they did, throwing together any kind of plot that they could just as long as they could use it to get the zombies into the film. If you go your whole life without having to sit through this film, don't worry. You have not missed much. If you still have that nagging feeling that you might enjoy it, though, you can download it at the bottom of the page. What's it about?  Well. During the World War 1 an oriental priest is imprisoned to prevent his secrets from falling into the wrong hands. His secret knowledge, of course, is how to make zombies, which he has already aptly demonstrated by creating a platoon of zombie soldiers. Unfortunately for this master of all things zombie somebody stick a knife in his back while he is busy praying in his cell. Not being a zombie himself, but just a zombie master, the poor guy bites the dust and his secret dies with him. After the war, however, an expedition representing the interests of the allied countries is sent to the dead priest's homeland to try and find his secret and supposedly destroy it. Needless to say, somebody does find out the secret, but uses it for their own advantage. Meaning lots and lots of zombies and lots and lots of trouble. So that's the basic story: a quest for that all elusive formulae for making zombies. There is also a little bit of a love story thrown into the mix and someone is used and abused and then thrown away to get bitter about it, but that's about it really. Pretty boring. Now a little bit of trivia about the film. Footage of Bela Lugosi's eyes was used for the close-ups of the zombie master's eyes. The sequence used was taken from the film White Zombie, which is a much better film altogether.   Scroll down the page to watch The Movie (Download link below the player) Cast  Dorothy Stone    ...  Claire Duval   Dean Jagger        ...  Armand Louque  Roy D'Arcy         ...  Col.
