The Plague Of Zombies 1966.
Young people begin to die mysteriously, the Doctor sends for help in the guise of his professor who uncover the truth.
John Gilling directs this only hammer horror take on the zombie genre which these zombies are controlled by the mind and not running around eating people turning others to the mindless state of Hunger and flesh.
Brook Williams (Where Eagles Dare) plays the young Doctor who cannot find the answers to the death of the villagers. André Morell
(Ben-Hur) plays the professor summoned to the village with his daughter Sylvia played by Diane Clark (The Haunting) who believes the squire Clive Hamilton (John Carson, (Captain Kronos) has dabbled in Voodoo.
This holds up better than some of the recent Zombie films that have been released, no blood or guts are needed for entertainment purposes but more traditional gothic background and decent acting with a eerie background score. At 53 years old this film is still worth watching
