Review of The Plague of the Zombies (1966) by Andrea S — 24 Apr 2012
Sir James Forbes (Andre Morell) is summoned to a small Cornish village by one of his former medical students (Brook Williams). He's supposed to be investigating an outbreak of mysterious fatalities, but Forbes eventually connects the deaths to a plot of graves that are suddenly lacking occupants.
All of this may have something to do with Clive Hamilton (John Carson), an uncouth aristocrat who spent years studying bizarre magical rites in Haiti. The Plague of the Zombies, which has the look and feel of many Hammer productions, is a straightforward story where staid Englishmen combat the gruesome advances of nightmarish monsters.
The movie brings itself to a fiery climax by using a very slow fuse, but fans of the studio will likely enjoy this professionally executed effort.
