Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

MartinHafer This Italian movie was filmed in the UK and features mostly dubbed actors. However, Arthur Kennedy provides his own voice...and that's a real shame! THis is because you assume he's supposed to be Irish but his accent comes and goes...and often he just sounds like an American. It also is a movie with 16 different titles!The film is set in a rural part of the UK. Some folks from the Department of Agriculture have deployed a machine that kills bugs by using sonic waves or the like. However, folks don't realize it also causes gestating babies to be born evil and the dead become flesh- eating zombies. Some people witness this but, of course, the police are too stupid to listen. In fact, no one seems to learn anything from all this and it ends of a very downbeat note!The film is a mixed bag. On one hand some of the characters act like inexplicably like idiots. For example, in one scene Martin is being killed while his girlfriend just stands there screaming (a bad movie cliché) and when the zombie comes after her, her reaction is unintentionally funny! There's also a stupid scene where a guy can't start his car and his girlfriend is driving off...and he never bothers to honk the horn, just yell! Duh. Despite people being dummies now and then, the film IS pretty exciting. The blood, gore and other effects are excellent for the early 1970s and the movie does have a very scary aura about it. Worth watching...just make sure NOT to think too much while watching this gore-fest....and it really IS awfully gory.

TheRedDeath30 I see a whole lot of 8 and 9 star reviews for this movie. Now, I certainly understand that each of us has their own opinion and I probably like movies that others would wonder about my own rating. Where's the sense of scale, though? If this movie is an 8, then what exactly constitutes a 5 for those people, or god forbid, a 2? The general praise I see is it's "historical significance" being an early precursor of the European zombie movement and, for that, I can see it deserves some credit. However, simply being a museum piece does not equal being a quality movie that most modern viewers will enjoy, does it? Charlie Chaplin may be important to comedy, but very few of us still find him funny, but I digress. Yes, This comes right after Night of the Living Dead and, I would include, Tombs of the Blind Dead, and seem to have inspired Fulci a great deal, especially in the look of the zombies.After watching the movie, I was left thinking of Val Lewton, to some degree. If I removed the monsters from this movie altogether, do I still have anything entertaining left? The answer is a resounding "NO". Yes, the scenes will the zombies (all 15 minutes that you'll get) are indeed well-done. They have that slow, languid quality like you're in nightmare that you just can't escape from. The rest of the movie is a big, gigantic mess though. The actors are just not good, despite other reviews, especially the male lead. The dialog comes off like something I wrote in junior high creative writing. It's overwrought and just really laughable in parts, especially from the Sheriff. For me, that sort of stuff just pulls me out completely and eliminates any tension because all I'm concentrating on is how bad the writing is in this movie.I do give cred for giving some explanation to the zombies besides the usual virus, and the means of killing them differs from most other zombie genre movies, but those things don't make up for the rest of the weak points.If you are a completest, like me, just working your way through the catalog, so to speak, then this is worth a view (if only for it's historical significance), but if you're a zombie enthusiast looking for your next fix, then you can do much better than this (try the aforementioned Tombs of the Blind Dead first).

Uriah43 On his way from London to a meeting in the northern part of England, "George" (Ray Lovelock) has his motorcycle damaged when a young lady named "Edna" (Cristina Galbo) accidentally backs her car into it at a gas station. Since she is at fault she reluctantly accedes to George's request to drive him to his meeting but manages to convince him to drive her to her sister's house first. However, when George stops to ask for directions she is attacked by a strange man and barely manages to escape. Unfortunately, George doesn't believe her and they continue on. Not long afterward, Edna's sister "Katie" (Jeannine Mestre) is also assaulted and her husband "Martin" (Jose Lifante) is killed by the same person who attacked Edna. When the police arrive "the Inspector" (played by Arthur Kennedy) immediately considers George and Edna to be his prime suspects and becomes even further convinced as the death toll increases and both of them blame "dead people" as the culprits. Anyway, rather than detail the rest of the movie I will just say that this was a pretty good zombie movie which resembled "Night of the Living Dead" in several ways. Admittedly, there were some parts which were pretty slow and some of the lighting in certain scenes could have been better but by and large it was still an enjoyable film for the most part. Accordingly, I rate it as slightly above average.

callanvass I hate using the word overrated. It's very derogatory in my opinion, and sounds rather crass as well, so I'll use a more polite term. It's over- praised by Horror fans in my opinion. I actually thought this might end up being something special when I first started this one. It was very atmospheric and has a rather tense first zombie sighting, but then that's where the problems started with me. It moves like molasses. It's very slow moving, and my interest started to wane big time. I also had trouble getting invested into the two lead characters. Cristina Galbó;s whiny performance grated my nerves quickly. I found her to be very unsympathetic in my opinion. Ray Lovelock tries to play it all cool, but he was rather nonchalant and annoying. I didn't care for him at all. Arthur Kennedy is even worse. His performance as the inspector quickly tested my patience. His anger wasn't enjoyable to watch. Chill. The gore is decent, but nothing like you'd see in a lot of zombie flicks. The zombies themselves are actually pretty creepy; too bad the movie is so boringFinal Thoughts: This tries to rely on atmosphere, but it failed miserably. The slow pace, the grating characters, and overall lack of thrills sink this one. It seems to have a big cult following, so maybe it's just me…4/10
