Info

A black voodoo priestess comes out of the Louisians swamps to take revenge on the white plantation owner she believes killed her husband. The old conjure woman Mandy returns with her daughter Chloe to their bayou home after fifteen years. Chloe was too young to remember much about the bayou, but once Mandy had been a famous voodoo priestess in these parts. But after the whites lynched her husband Sam, she took her little girl & moved away into the Everglades. She seems to have gone a little mad in the intervening years & has returned swearing a belated vengeance against the murdering white folks.

Chloe, Love Is Calling You Audience Reviews

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
classichollywoodbeauties Olive Borden was one of the most beautiful and successful actresses of the 1920s. Unfortunately by 1934 her career was ruined by salary demands and a bad reputation. Chloe, Love is Calling would be Olive's final film. It's a low-budget movie set in the Southern swamps. Olive plays Chloe, the light skinned daughter of a voodoo priestess. Unfortunately the plot has a lot of racist elements and most people give this movie bad reviews. I thought it was an interesting story and I enjoyed seeing Olive (although this is certainly not her best performance). An interesting piece of trivia is that Olive was dating the director of this film Marshall Neilan. If you're a fan of Olive Borden it's definitely worth your time to watch Chloe. It's a public domain film and can be seen for free on You Tube or the Internet Archive. Sadly Olive died penniless in 1947 at the young age of 41.
MartinHafer This movie is part of a double-feature of dreck from Alpha Video. And, like most of Alpha's DVDs, the picture and sound quality is terrible...and there is no captioning of any type. The other film included is "The Devil's Daughter" and both films have the distinction of being in the Bottom 10 films in ratings from the 1930s! Imagine...both on the same DVD!! Can any human being survive seeing this much crappiness at one time?! Well, I am living proof that you can...but don't try this at home (at least until you'd got the okay from your doctor)! Unlike "The Devil's Daughter" (which had an all-black cast), the cast for "Chloe" has a mixed cast--something very unusual for the time. I am not sure if the film was intended for black theaters (this was during the pre-integration period where in most locales blacks and whites went to separate and definitely not equal theaters) or for widespread distribution. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about the company that made this film, Pinnacle Productions.The main character of the film is a woman of supposed mixed race, Chloe. Who exactly her mother has been a mystery and she was found and raised by a black woman in the swamp. Frankly, the story is pretty confusing (parts appear to be missing and the DVD is almost 10 minutes shorter than the running time listed on IMDb) but the main gist of the story is that Chloe, despite being raised by and with black people, really, really wants to be 100% white. At the same time, the woman who raised her plans on using Chloe to exact revenge against the Colonel--a man she blames for the lynching of a family member. By the end, the Colonel claims Chloe is his long lost daughter and the woman that raised her denies it. All this is followed by a silly voodoo scene with lots of ignorant black folks dancing about and acting like stereotypes as they are about to sacrifice Chloe (how did it ever get to this scene from the last?!?!). She is saved and then learns the happy news that she is, in fact, not really one bit black and her foster mother had lied about this! And this, apparently, is supposed to be a happy ending! The bottom line is that you've got a muddled story that manages to be boring, confusing AND racist! This is quite the feat. Combined with bad acting, poor direction and the usual horrible print from Alpha Video, I can't see why anyone would want to see it--especially since it's not even good as a 'bad movie'--though it is pretty funny to watch Chloe badly overact without even saying anything at the 48 minute mark!This DVD deserves to be the recipient of some sort of animal cruelty award, as "The Devil's Daughter" features a real cock fight and in "Chloe" you get to see a guy kill a poor snake! Sure it was a rattlesnake, but to kill it for the audience's pleasure seems pretty nasty. Plus there was no point to this senseless act...just the pure joy of killing one of God's creatures.
Hitchcoc It isn't just that it's the most racist movie I've seen in a long time. It's just not very good. You have major parts played by white actors. In black and white, they don't even look dark. Then you have the ridiculous premise where the woman of "white blood" has longings she just can't explain. She is tilting toward her whiteness. Of course, it's obvious who the superior race is here. They lounge with their juleps and order the servants around. The "hero" is a monumental jerk, but he is a white guy. There's lots of talk about the problems of mixing with other races and it's a given, of course. The blacks also dance around doing their voodoo rites, totally "out of control." It's up to the landholder and his rich friends to take care of them. Also, Chloe was raised and loved by these people, but when she is revealed as a one hundred percent white woman, well, you can imagine what they're thinking. I realize how unenlightened people were (and how hateful). But it must have been viewed as a horrible depiction, even back in the 30's. I know that there is an historical perspective that applies here. Maybe we should all see this kind of stuff once in a while.
mike1964 Awful, just awful story about a young white woman raised by a black voodoo woman. If the NAACP ever saw this they would throw a fit. There are white actors playing black with virtually no make-up. The actress playing Chloe is having a terrible life until she finds out she is really white. Story is basically a rich old southern gentlemen lost his daughter when she was just a child. An old black woman lost her own daughter and kidnapped Chloe and raised her as her own. There is love interest and plotted revenge by the black voodoo woman, but in the end the father and daughter are reunited. No matter what the VHS advertisements say, this is not a lost classic nor even remotely close to a horror movie. Do not watch it.
