What happens

Revolt of the Zombies is a 1936 American horror film directed by Victor Halperin, produced by Edward Halperin, and starring Dean Jagger and Dorothy Stone. One of the earliest zombie films, it was initially conceived as a loose sequel to the director's moderately successful White Zombie (1932) but, due to a lawsuit, was unable to promote itself as such. Although uncredited, Bela Lugosi's eyes appear in Revolt whenever zombifying-powers are used; it is the same image of Lugosi's eyes used in White Zombie. When compared with Halperin's previous work, Revolt is generally regarded as a disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
