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 Vodou, 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 reclamation of Haitian Vodou and celebration of the only nation forged through a successful slave uprising.
Featuring Yves-Grégory Francois, Anderson Mojica, Erol Josué, Mambo Labelle Déese Botanica, Slash, Tom Savini, Tananarive Due, and Zandashé Brown.
