Black Zombie (SXSW)

4.6

Dive into the chilling world of Black Zombie, the gripping documentary premiering at SXSW 2026! Directed by the talented Maya Annik Bedward, this film unearths the zombie's true roots in Haitian Vodou, slavery, and fierce spiritual resistance—way before Hollywood turned them into flesh-munching icons.

From haunted cane fields to Hollywood screens, it traces the undead's journey through classics like White Zombie and Night of the Living Dead, reclaiming the zombie as a powerful symbol of survival. Catch star-studded interviews with Yves-Grégory Francois, Slash, Tom Savini, and more at the official screening!
