Dead of Night(1974)

Andy, a young soldier is killed during the Vietnam war. but later turns up at his familys home after his mother prays for his return. and although he looks fine and well, apart from looking a bit pale, his behavior is rather weird and barely speaks and spends his days rocking to and fro in a rocking chair.

Cheap and entertaining horror film from Bob Clark who did Black Christmas. with special effects from Dawn of The deads tom Savini, incorporating his usual orange looking blood from that time.
Richard backus who plays the part of andy does a good job in the role, and is rather creepy as the sort of zombie/vampire creature who needs to inject blood to stop from decomposing. and freaking out his girlfriend by turning up for a date wearing black gloves and sun glasses.

A good recommend. slow paced and very atmospheric. 76 out of 100.
