Revolt of the Zombies

Horor / romantický / válečný, USA, 1936, 65 min.



Zombies--- Not dead, not alive!
During World War I, a regiment of French-Cambodians arrives at the Franco-Austrian front and Priest Tsiang tells French interpreter Armand Louque the legend of the building of the ancient Vat temple in Angkor by thousands of "tireless, feelingless human machines" called zombies. Tsiang, the last descendant of priest kings who knows the secret of the occult powers that create zombies, offers to demonstrate the uses of zombie soldiers in trench warfare. His experiment works, but Austrian General von Schelling fears the zombies will destroy the white race and has Tsiang arrested. Meanwhile, General Mazovia murders Tsiang and steals the document he believes will reveal the secret formula. After the war, an international expedition for archaeological research arrives in Angkor led by General Duval. Duval's daughter Claire becomes engaged to Armand to incite the jealousy of Clifford Grayson. When Claire then breaks the engagement, Armand applies Claire's example of self-centeredness to his own search for the zombie secret and goes to the Vat temple. There he finds the formula for a hypnotic potion in hieroglyphics and, returning to the base, places his servant Buna into a state of catatonic subservience. When Mazovia arrives to steal the formula, Armand commands Buna to strangle Mazovia. Armand's fanaticism increases until he transforms hundreds of Cambodians and nearly everyone at the base into zombies and then forces Claire to marry him. The only man Armand trusts, Ignacio MacDonald, then tells Armand he will never win Claire's love by force and Armand relinquishes his powers. The freed Cambodians then storm the base and kill Armand.
