Review of The Plague of the Zombies (1966) by R.john X — 04 Feb 2012
Let's just get this out of the way, Andre Morell IS Quartermass! Though not in this one, well, he does get in a few pits, so... Anyway. This is a classic voodoo zombie flick. In that the bad guy is really snotty - what with his Peter Murphy sideburns, his creepy masks, his drum circle of shirtless Hati hippies trapped in the basement, and a group of red coated fox hunting henchmen.
Those guys real jerks - chasing after cute little foxes, knocking over coffins, and kidnapping women. Let's get back to the grave robbing, because there is A LOT of it in this movie. Almost more than in a Frankenstein movie.
The police are wonderful in this one too. Sir James Forbes is a great character and it was fun to watch him barely escape the fire at the end.
