A mysterious epidemic starts killing young workers in a little Cornish village. The local doctor helplessly asks for professor James Forbes' help. Upon Forbes' and his daughter's arrival to the village think start spiraling out of control and now Forbes has to face something unreal...
In the vein of similar goth horror films from the same company, this film comes out and stings like a motherfucker. Directed by John Gilling, this flick boasts a smart script, fine acting, solid photography and gloomy atmosphere. As always, the settings are outstanding and certainly build up half of the film's momentum. Cemeteries, unholy rituals, zombies....prepare!
The cast is a classic Hammer Films' one, with sophisticated actors performing above average. The expressions and feelings portrayed are convincing and life-like and the theatrical mood of the actor's performances gives a more realistic touch to it. That is quite difficult for a film of the genre! Standing out from the cast are André Morell, Brook Williams, Jacqueline Pearce and Diane Clare!
Must watch this : on a rainy and windy March afternoon. Make yourself a nice cup of tea and enjoy the film. After the film, take a long stroll in the muddy woods nearby but make sure not to shit yourself with every strange noise you hear!
