Disturbing voodoo documentary

I remember seeing this movie back in the fifties, at a small town theatre that had a special program of non-Hollywood movies. I

remember seeing the pain on the theatre manager's face as some disturbing animal sacrifice scenes were being shown. From what I recalled, it was well made, had lots of vivid imagery and sounds. It's been too long since I've seen it to give it a good critique, but from what I recall, it was a pretty interesting movie, if a little disturbing at times. There's a lot more gore in movies today, but you knew that in this movie, it's real.
