Black Moon (1934)

Directed by Roy William Neill
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Jack Holt and his secretary Fay Wray travel to a Caribbean island, where his wife is moonlighting as a voodoo queen. This talky film has a few good scenes, such as the smoky tower and a couple of attempted sacrifices, but it's mainly a series of voodoo cliches. Clarence Muse supplies comic relief as a stereotyped Georgia black man living on the island. Roy William Neill may be the most overlooked director of the early horror genre.
