Full Plot Details

Young workers are dying because of a mysterious epidemic in a little village in Cornwall. Doctor Thompson is helpless and asks professor James Forbes for help. The professor and his daughter Sylvia travel to Thomson. Terrible things happen soon, beyond imagination or reality. Dead people are seen near an old, unused mine. Late people seem to live suddenly. Professor Forbes presumes that black magic is involved and someone has extraordinary power. He doesn't know how close he is: the dead become alive because of a magic voodoo-ritual, and so they must serve their master as mindless zombies...

Movie Reviews

Projection Booth - 9/10 by Rob HumanickUnfolds as a series of intriguing contrasts: between life and death, male and female, tradition and modernity, science and voodoo.
Film Frenzy - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonIt's not only one of the best zombie movies ever made, it's also one of the finest pictures ever released by Hammer Films.
Alternate Ending - 8/10 by Tim BraytonCertainly isn't the "best" horror film made by Hammer Film Productions... What it is, maybe, is the "Hammer-est" Hammer film.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsThe best Hammer Horror for quite some time, with remarkably few of the lapses into crudity which are usually part and parcel of this company's work.
What Culture - 6/10 by Shaun MunroAs a precursor to better zombie films, it remains an important, passably entertaining genre milestone.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by David JenkinsA colourful romp with a smattering of subtext.
User Review - 10/10 by R.John XLet's just get this out of the way, Andre Morell IS Quartermass! Though not in this one, well, he does get in a few pits, so... Anyway. This is a classic voodoo zombie flick. In that the bad guy is really snotty - what with his Peter Murphy sideburns, his creepy masks, his drum circle of shirtless Hati hippies trapped in the basement, and a group of red coated fox hunting henchmen. Those guys real jerks - chasing after cute little foxes, knocking over coffins, and kidnapping women. Let's get back to the grave robbing, because there is A LOT of it in this movie. Almost more than in a Frankenstein movie. The police are wonderful in this one too. Sir James Forbes is a great character and it was fun to watch him barely escape the fire at the end.
User Review - 10/10 by Douglas CThis film( and it's companion The Reptile ) are the reason Hammer were successful. They are pure gothic on a shoestring budget; Roy Ashton's brilliant make-up ( pre-dating Romero's rotting zombies by 3 years ), and the Cornish settings make for a homely, stylish horror....
User Review - 10/10 by Tristan PSuperb Hammer horror that combines old-fashioned chills with wry commentary about the exploitation of the working class.
User Review - 10/10 by Dylan WHow can you make a better horror movie? I don't know. This one is perfect!
