Reviews
"The commentary by critic and novelist Kim Newman (author of the vampire novel Anno Dracula)
and critic-editor Steven [sic] Jones is a lively, energetic dialogue. These two enthusiastic commentators
discuss such topics as literary influences on the plot (citing not only Jane Eyre but The Turn of the
Screw and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca) and the ways the finished film differs from the
shooting script, as well as filling in some background on the actors and offering interesting morsels
of trivia . . . Their commentary manages to enhance our knowledge of the film and the filming process without lessening its otherworldly power."
"English critics Kim Newman and Steve Jones double up for a commentary on I Walked With a Zombie to dispense insights and good-natured chatter."
"On Zombie we have British critics Stephen Jones and Newman . . . The Jones/Newman track is notable for being the only one of the double-headed commentaries that isn't two individual speakers edited together. The two men are watching the film together and interacting, and it makes for an engaging listen—these two have clearly seen more '40s B movies than I have. They clearly know their subject inside out, and there's plenty to impart to us."
