1966 - PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES, not bad Hammer horror film.

A not bad zombie film.  Considering the subject matter, Hammer studios did a very good job producing this film. Acting, direction and production design are at a very high standard.  The story is interesting and doesn't run to long.  


Since the plot involves turning turning dead people into zombies for the purpose of mining coal in Cornwall during the 1800's.  One perceptive critic whose name escapes me, made the point that it would have been easier to just hire people to dig up coal. 


Still the film is entertaining the film has that well photographed look that Hammer brought to their films.   But it's important to remember this is a film about zombies for god sake.

The running time is 90 minutes, the film was written by Peter Bryan.
