Alan Jones
Is the invalid wife of a Caribbean plantation owner (Tom Conway) really the victim of a voodoo curse? In her quest to find out, nurse Frances Dee uncovers dark family secrets in cult producer Val Lewton's ingenious reworking of
Jane Eyre
. Jacques Tourneur's direction creates palpable fear and tension in a typically low-key nightmare from the Lewton fright factory. The lighting, shadows, exotic setting and music all contribute to the immensely disturbing atmosphere, making this stunning piece of poetic horror a classic of the genre.
Summary
A nurse visits a Caribbean island to treat the sick wife of a plantation owner. The patient is thought to have fallen foul of a horrific voodoo curse, causing zombie-like behaviour. But in her quest to find out the truth, the nurse uncovers some dark and terrifying family secrets. Horror from director Jacques Tourneur, starring Frances Dee, Tom Conway, Christine Gordon and James Ellison.
