"Black Demons" from 1991 is an Italian horror film from director Umberto Lenzi, doing another take on the zombie sub-genre. Three American college students, Dick, his sister Jessica, and her British boyfriend Kevin, are traveling through Brazil on vacation when Dick, after attending a bizarre voodoo ceremony, develops strange powers. When their jeep breaks down near a small plantation in the jungle outside Rio, the site of a former slave rebellion 150 years ago, Dick uses his powers to raise the dead of six executed slaves whom target the college kids and the residents of the plantation to seek revenge for their deaths. This one has a lot of good drama, dialogue, and well developed characters, along with the kill scenes being very intense to help it keep interest. The blood, gore, and make up are also very well done, as are the stunt works. This should definitely appeal to those into the zombie films from the 1980s and early 1990s as well as fans of Umberto Lenzi.
