DR BLOOD'S COFFIN 1961 (ALPHA)

Very interesting little horror film.

Kieron Moore stars as Dr. Peter Blood, who returns home to a small village and finds that people are disappearing at an alarming rate.

His father is a prominent doctor in town who is working with the police to help solve the mystery. Lovely Hazel Court is a nurse who works for the doctor that Peter takes a liking too right away, and who could blame him.

About 2/3 of the way into the film we discover that it is actually Peter who is kidnapping and using the villagers in experiments to bring the dead back to life. In the end he succeeds in bringing the dead husband of Court back to life and the corpse turns on him.

I have always liked this little gem, and it seems like it always just gets ignored by horror fans.Sidney Furie directs from a Nathan Juran screenplay, and it makes for a good 90 minutes of mystery and horror. If you haven't seen it, you should.
