Dr. Bruner: "Who are you?" (Zombies start to approach him) "And what are they?"
Legendre: "For you, my friend, they are the angels of death."

White Zombie is a 1932 horror film from RKO Pictures.

A love triangle in Haiti takes an interesting turn when one of the participants turns to a local witch doctor for help. This doesn't go as planned, as the witch doctor has plans of his own....

In 1936, the film was followed by a loose sequel Revolt of the Zombies.

Anything But That: Beaumont's reaction when he realizes what is coming up to him after Legendre poisons him.
