On the Caribbean island of St. Thomas proceed strange things. Two friends meet and know each other to tell scary stories they have experienced yourself ...
The action runs very slowly, you have a listener really time to engage in the Caribbean atmosphere, which is mediated here first class. Tension is built up slowly and the first story is short, but very scary. The second story takes longer, the gruesome components are constituted entirely different. You can still lock in case 1 on a purely supernatural explanation, penetrates here now the scientific world picture. Both narratives are therefore to a certain contrast, but they complement each other perfectly and the change that is represented by the different factors in horror history, affects absolutely correct.
Spoiler
Strange seemed only the final sequence of the radio play. That a being that even humans can be dangerous simply is bitten by the cat dead the cook, I found odd.
SPOILER END
To follow Gerd Holtenaus voice is an absolute treat, but ultimately can really convince all speakers.
From my feeling succeeded in any other horrors follow a so fitting musical background. The offered here sounds tear the audience truly in the plot, but the muffled pulsing that always can be heard in the background, creates a perfect horror atmosphere that one can hardly withdraw. My recommendation: absolutely evening listening by candlelight! Here horror is on offer at a high level.
The cover I felt as successful, especially since it is the act nothing anticipates and is capable of producing curiosity.
Conclusion: After me the episode "Haunted" has rather disappointed, I must with "The Zombie" a new highlight of the horror cabinet call my own. The output of the second story for me is not quite conclusive, but only because of the bombastic voodoo atmosphere I can not give less than 5 stars this radio play. Absolute buy recommendation!
