Overview

Sir James Forbes arrives in a remote Cornish village to identify a mysterious plague afflicting the population. Local squire Charles, a disciple of Haitian witchcraft, is using the voodoo magic to resurrect the dead to work in his decrepit and unsafe tin mines that are shunned by the local population.

Viewing Notes

On TCM part of their Hammer Horror Friday nights I watched The Plague of the Zombies (1966), which I had not seen before. It’s pretty damn good. At least it’s a lot better than I’m feeling.
