Film Synopsis
The Plague of the Zombies (1966) follows a doctor and his daughter who arrive in a remote Cornish village to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, only to uncover a sinister practice of voodoo and the undead. As corpses rise from their graves, the truth points to a local squire using black magic to control the villagers. This chilling Hammer horror blends gothic atmosphere, eerie visuals, and social commentary in a tale of exploitation and resurrection.
