The premise
A nurse in the Caribbean turns to voodoo in hopes of curing her patient, a mindless woman whose husband she's fallen in love with.
Horror Vault's take
On a lush Caribbean island, a Canadian nurse arrives to care for a wealthy planter's wife — a silent, vacant woman whose condition defies medical explanation. As the nurse is drawn into the island's simmering tensions and the rhythms of voodoo ritual, the line between clinical reason and ancient belief grows dangerously thin. Val Lewton's shadowy, poetic production lingers in the mind long after the credits roll, conjuring dread from suggestion rather than spectacle.
