The Walking Dead
HE DIED a man with a hunger to love... and returned a monster with an instinct to kill.
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A dark, tragic tale of injustice and resurrection that transforms an innocent man into a vengeful monster, exploring themes of wrongful death and the corruption of the soul.
Down-on-his-luck John Ellman is framed for a judge's murder. After he's convicted and sentenced to death, witnesses come forth and prove his innocence. But it was too late for a stay to be granted and Ellman is executed. A doctor uses an experimental procedure to restore him to life, though the full outcome is other than expected.
