白魔鬼[电影解说]

在那间幽暗的荒原旅馆里，每当大教堂的钟声敲响，游荡的幽灵都会现身索命，那种背脊发凉又让人忍不住想揭开真相的劲儿，看得很过瘾。情节其实简单，但导演用斑驳的光影和缓慢的推进，把“失去自我”的绝望拉得很长。卢戈西没有夸张的表演，他只用低沉的耳语和僵直的步伐，就把那种“被控制”的窒息感传给了观众。卢戈西把那个抓狂牧师的疯劲儿拿捏得特准，看着他在警匪对峙中自证清白的挣扎，既心酸又紧张。整部片节奏慢，但慢得有道理——那种被无形力量慢慢裹挟的窒息感，比一惊一乍的后劲大得多。适合的人群：不反感黑白默片节奏的老影迷，或者想看看“僵尸”这个概念最初长什么样子的观众——跟后来吃脑子的丧尸完全两码事。

　　Young couple Madeleine and Neil are coaxed by acquaintance Monsieur Beaumont to get married on his Haitian plantation. Beaumont's motives are purely selfish as he makes every attempt to convince the beautiful young girl to run away with him. For help Beaumont turns to the devious Legendre, a man who runs his mill by mind controlling people he has turned into zombies. After Beaumont uses Legendre's zombie potion on Madeleine, he is dissatisfied with her emotionless being and wants her to be changed back. Legendre has no intention of doing this and he drugs Beaumont as well to add to his zombie collection. Meanwhile, grieving 'widower' Neil is convinced by a local priest that Madeleine may still be alive and he seeks her out.
