Jane Eyre in the Caribbean

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Yes!  I watched it just a week ago.  I've been on a Val Lewton kick, via netflix.

All of his movies are really interesting in terms of their noir look (heavy on the shadows, slatted blinds, etc.),their odd structure (multiple/shifting protagonists), strong interesting female characters, psychological themes, and their general eeriness.  The Cat People and I Walked With a Zombie are among the best.  Don't know if you've read Kiss of the Spider Woman by Puig, but it contains descriptions of The Cat People and Zombie (or something derivative of it).
