Revolt of the Zombies (1936) is our fourth and final zombie film from the 1930s. Set in Cambodia during World War I, it was intended to be a sequel to White Zombie (1932). It trades Haitian voodoo zombies for ancient Asian zombies. It starts off with a collection of generals fearful that zombies will disrupt the balance of world power. In the end, this is another love story about a boy, standing in front a girl, asking her to love him, and using his zombie powers to make it come true.
