After bringing his beautiful new wife Paula home to America from a remote island on which she was raised, Professor Norman Reed begins to feel the clash between his world of rational science and hers of bizarre dancing and freaky voodoo rituals. Norman's stuck-up friends also sense Paula's strangeness, and soon their meddling gossip and suspicious scheming push the poor woman to use her magic to defend herself and her husband – and maybe even to kill! Or is it just the power of suggestion...?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliciously pulpy 1940s B-movie that plays with perception and paranoia, asking whether a woman's outsider status makes her dangerous or simply misunderstood. The voodoo mechanics are secondary to the social suspicion eating away at the marriage from within.
