The PLague Of Zombies. 1966.
In a small Cornish Village, young men appear to be dying young, the docotr sends for his friend and mentor to find the cause and both uncover voodoo practices.
Made before Night Of the Living dead and becoming cannibals, Hammer decided to make these a bit more art house controllable and not wanting the thirst for human blood and skin. Set in the Victorian times, the set pieces were crafted well, the costumes look amazing. Andre Morell plays the old doctor looking into the deaths while John Carson plays the village squire who may be hiding more than he lets on and Hammer star Michael Ripper as the police sergeant. Perfect dark atmosphere and still has suspense moments, one that never gets boring.
