Average Customer Ratings:
The purpose of this book is to chronicle, critique and explore every theatrically released, English-language voodoo movie to date. Admittedly, sometimes the stories behind a film's making prove more entertaining than the movie itself, but such are the hazards of the job. While some are good, many are bad and a few are downright ugly, most voodoo movies contain at least the promise (occasionally fulfilled, more often not) of a glimpse into an alternate world view and spirituality that can be both fascinating and unsettling.
Films such White Zombie, I Walked With a Zombie, Macumba Love, I Eat Your Skin, Angel Heart and The Believers are included in this fascinating film history.

Summary: a unique reference-book for the film-freak
Comment: As far as I know, there is no other filmbook covering Voodoo in the Cinema (there are some Zombie-film-books, but this is not the same as you know...) For any (horror-fantasy-)filmbook-freak this is a unique reference book with a nearly complete filmography from silentfilms till today
german: Meines Wissens nach das einzige Buch über Voodoo-Filme im Kino (nicht zu verwechseln mit Zombiefilmen, über die es inzwischen ein paar Filmbücher gibt). Ziemlich komplette Filmographie von der Stummfilmzeit bis heute
