Synopsis

A couple's arrival in Haiti draws them into a plantation owner's scheme and the power of a sinister intermediary. The bride becomes the object of a struggle that threatens her will and identity. Love encounters a form of control presented as supernatural enslavement.

Historical context

Its controlled, working zombies differ from the later flesh-eating model. The film belongs to Hollywood's imagined Haiti and should not be treated as a factual representation of Haitian religious practice.
