The Plague of the Zombies
Voodoo rituals in 18th-century Cornwall disguise a savage indictment of the British class system in a superior Hammer horror with a forceful plotline. It's John Gilling's best work, and his tight handling and ultra-stylish visuals build the tension most effectively. Chiefly eventful moments list the preservationist-tinted flight of fancy sequence, where churchyard corpses are resurrected, and a quite stunning decapitation disagreeable situation. A vintage bloodcurdler from Hammer's golden era.
