Synopsis

Black Zombie digs beneath the blood-soaked spectacle of modern horror to uncover the zombie’s buried origins. Born from enslavement, spiritual belief, and resistance, it first emerged in Haiti before becoming one of pop culture’s most profitable monsters. The film traces its evolution from the cane fields of colonial Haiti to White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow. Part cultural reckoning, part horror remix, Black Zombie is a bold reexamination of one of horror’s most iconic figures. YSFF FESTIVAL BADGES ACCEPTED
