Ouanga (1936) * 1/2 (out of 4) Plantation owner Kiki (Fredi Washington) falls in love with a white man but when that man picks a white woman to be with over her, Kiki decides to use voodoo to bring the dead back to life and go after the man.
Popular reviews. More. Ben ★★★. Controversial for many reasons, Ouanga is perhaps one of the most underrated gems of 1930s horror and as one of the first black-led horrors (let alone one led by a woman), it is no surprise that this film got all but buried by Hollywood in its day.
