IfilimuAbangafiIsiqalekiso1900 kuya ku-1967

A Sam Katzman production about a cursed ship whose undead crew protects its diamonds. Its zombies are a cursed crew rather than the servants of a voodoo master. Zombie historian Peter Dendle calls the film surprisingly prescient for the motifs it anticipates.1
