of the many problem with this film and the bad be continuity while and re edit it on vhs for a college cable channel many year ago and i try to figure out what exactly go wrong . what seem to have happen be that they actually construct a much long film and then chop it down for standard theatrical viewing . how much long . to fill in all the hole in the plot a we have it would require about three more hour of narrative and character development especially give the fact that the film we do have be just so slow and take itself just so seriously . that stagger while what could the halperins have possibly be try to accomplish here . their previous film and white zombie and be a successful low budget attempt to duplicate the early universal studio monster film ( the mummy and dracula and etc . ) and and a such stuck pretty close to the zombie mythology that those in north america would know from popular magazine . revolt of the zombie and to the contrary and appear to have be intend a some allegory for the politics of modern war . this would not only explain the opening and and the change of dean jagger character into a megalomaniac and but it also explain why the zombie do not actually do much in the film and besides stand around and look frightening and and wait for order theyre just allegorical soldier and not the undead cannibal we have all come to love and loathe in zombie film . i be the equal to any in my dislike for modern war and it politics but i think a film ought to be entertain first and and only later and maybe and educational . and definitely a film about zombie ought to be about zombie . truly one of the most bizarre film in hollywood history and but not one i can recommend and even for historic value .
