Plague of the zombies.

People are mysteriously dying in a small village in Cornwall. Doctor thompson is at a loss to what is causing it and asks for help from the former tutor professor Forbes(Andre Morell) for help. He and his daughter Sylvia travel there and find more than they bargained for with zombies, fox hunters, a evil squire and voodoo.

Very good Hammer film indeed, with a decent cast, including Andre Morell as the lead in a role that you would normally expect to see Peter Cushing do, but he's not bad at all and gives a pretty good turn. Diane Clare i liked too as his sweet daughter. and Jacqueline Pierce who co stars as the wife of Doctor thompson who ends up having her head chopped off by a shovel in order to save her from being a zombie forever. and Hammer regular Michael Ripper as Sgt Swift.

although tame when you compare this to Lucio fulci zombie films this was still a highly entertaining film for its time and what it lacks in gore it makes up with a good story and spooky atmosphere, and i liked the fact that it was something different from Hammer films as well. 85 out of 100.
