Film Review: The Plague of the Zombies (12A) (U.K. 1966/2012) (Director: John Gilling), Tuesday 12.06.2012 21:00, The Cameo Cinema Screen Two, Edinburgh.

I was intrigued to see this as had read it described as one of Hammer Horror's most underrated Film. I have not seen any of the older Hammer films before and was curious as to why this one had been restored. 

The film concerns a squire who is in charge of a small village, who prior to fulfilling the role had spent time in Haiti. Local men are being turned into Zombies so as to become a slow but unstopping work force for the squire's tin mine. 

I did not recognize any of the actors. Some of the props and set design looked quite cheep, though this did not in any way diminish the enjoyment. It did not feel at all scary, though was an engaging tale of rescue. 

Rating: 06/10.
