PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES 1967 (ANCHOR BAY)

One of the best of the Hammer horrors.

A small village in Cornwall is plagued by the deaths of many young people and a doctor and his lovely daughter travel there after being invited by a one of the doctors former students.

Andre Morell is the doctor who arrives to help his student solve the mysterious "curse" hanging over the village.Diane Claire is his daughter and John Carson is the town Squire and it is he who is causing people to die and then turning them into hideous zombies in order to work a dangerous tin mine to make millions of dollars.

There are some excellent sequences in this film including a nightmare scene where the zombies rise and a female zombie, played by Jacqueline Pearce has her head cut off. Director John Gilling does an exceptional job as does the entire cast. the first time the zombies are shown is something I will never forget.

Highly Recommended horror film that shouldn't be missed.
