Heading away for a few weeks but wanted to get all my DVDs seen. This will just leave me with the Negan and Maggie show to watch when I am back. But onto this:
1966 and made by Hammer House of Horror, we have Plague of Zombies, starring Quatermass himself Andre Morrell as Sir James, a professor of medicine who head with his daughter to investigate a dozen unexplained death in a small Cornish village.
Add a pretty daughter, a former star pupil, Servalan from Blake's 7, and a dodgy local Squire who "spent some time in the Caribbean" and you have a pretty good forerunner to a lot the movie we see nowadays.
It was probably one of the first movies to have zombies looking dead, even though they are voodoo zombies. They don't look like sleepwalkers as they did in other voodoo movies from the 40s and 50s. They look like decaying, blue faced undeads. The dark plot and the Squire and his use of the zombies felt quite White Zombie, combined with the sear Dr Who's in particular the Dr of Hammer stalwart Peter Cushing.
It is dated, not for everyone, but better than most of the crap that would come out in the 1970s. It is said it had an influence on Romero pre-NOTLD.
A solid 6/10 from me 6.6/10 on IMDB and 83 on Rotten Tomatoes. Check it out.
