Synopsis

A sadistic squire dabbles in voodoo rituals, resurrecting rotting corpses as slaves in an old eerie Cornish village. But exposing the evil zombie cult means risking human sacrifice when the day of the dead finally dawns.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different setting for a zombie film, but it works, 5 Jan 2008

By	LXIX (scotland) - See all my reviews

This film is fine and has a strong and commanding lead role by Andre Morell. It's a good story, is well put together, and interestingly is set in 1860 in darkest Cornwall (and not as you would perhaps expect in the Caribbean, or Haiti in particular).

Sir James Forbes, an eminent professor of medicine at London University, receives a troublesome letter from one of his former protege students and decides, along with his pretty daughter, Sylvia, to visit him.

In the Cornish village, 13 people have died within a year and all under mysterious circumstances. Suspiciously, the local squire will not authorise any autopsies. The doctors decide to investigate and in doing so uncover empty coffins, voodoo practice, strange going-ons at a disused tin mine and, ultimately, as the title suggests, a plague of zombies.

Diane Clare plays the role of the voluptuous Victorian beauty and overall this is a decent 86 minute offering from the Hammer team.

The dream scene is particularly memorable and is a famous slice of 60's horror (remember that this film was actually made before 'Night of the Living Dead').

It is ironic that the human psyche naturally fears the idea of zombies but, at the same time, a belief in life after death is a basic tenet of most world religions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't expecting much but..., 2 Jun 2007

By	Mr. N. Daniau "14geronimo" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

it wasn't bad at all. The plot is kind of classic but never dull and the actors play their part imaginatively. The special effects are crap but who cares, you don't watch Hammer films for the special effects, I find it even amusing to see fluo red beetroot juice jelly blood. The quality of the DVD is impeccable. Not many "special features" but I've got a life and I'm not geek enough to care.

What I liked most was the camera, always after some witty angles. This gives a nice touch to some scenes otherwise too cliche to be really exciting.

My main regret is that there isn't any "message" to this zombie film. There is normally always some cheap philosophy (sort of) in a zombie film, some world vision, social in particular. Take Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days or even so-called parodies Return of the Living Dead or Shaun of the Dead, what's funky in zombie films is not the dead, but how the living react to the situation, how the social links dissolve to give way to how the author views human interaction within society. Respectively if you take the examples above, and to simplify: racism, consumerism, solitude, irresponsibility, friendship/humour. Well, nothing of that sort, this is hardly a zombie film you might say, rather a detective story, with a Sherlock Holmes and his Dr Watson as heroes against a very British villain. This works well but you find yourself forgetting you're in a zombie film, which is kind of a shame if you like the genre.

Anyway, a very pleasant evening entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underated Hammer Gem, 28 Aug 2009

By	Peter Mccrohon (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Made back to back with The Reptile and with the same director (John Gilling) and some cast members, this is an evocative and atmospheric hidden gem of a film. The cast, led by Andre Morrell and John Carson, with strong supporting performances from Michael Ripper and Jacqueline Pearce, is first rate (you don't even miss Cushing and Lee). The dream sequence of Zombies rising from a graveyard has been hugely influential and still works on the senses.
