A professor and his daughter travel to a village in Cornwall to investigate a deadly epidemic only to discover the dead are crawling back to life! Hammer’s only zombie flick takes a long while to unearth its title subjects, and once they arrive, they take second fiddle to another villain. The zombies themselves look nice, especially in a dream sequence where they climb out of the dirt. It’s worth noting that this film predates George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, the touchstone of the entire zombie sub-genre, by two years. With Andre Morell and Diane Clare.
