Video: 43

Kino's Blu-ray release of 'White Zombie' presents two 1080p/AVC versions: one with heavy DNR, eliminating grain and fine details for a cleaner but less filmic look, the other raw and natural, retaining noise and imperfections. The latter, despite its flaws, offers the definitive transfer with superior detail and balanced contrast.

Audio: 43

The Blu-ray's uncompressed Linear PCM 2.0 track, presumably mono, exhibits typical audio issues like pops, crackles, and hissing expected from an 80-year-old film. Dialogue clarity varies, but the center channel is stable with balanced imaging. Despite minor distractions, the audio quality remains moderately clear and listenable.

Extra: 52

Extras include an enlightening audio commentary by historian Frank Thompson, vintage interviews with Béla Lugosi that capture his enigmatic persona, and a theatrical trailer. The supplemental content is professional, informative, and enriching for both fans and film historians.

Movie: 67

Kino Classics' Blu-ray release of "White Zombie" shows the 1932 cult classic's blend of eerie cinematography and surreal atmospherics, with Béla Lugosi's unforgettable performance overshadowing the film's technical and narrative shortcomings; a must-see for fans of early horror cinema.
