| | Excellent all round | Anonymous 08/04/2007 | Another poster somewhere on the 'net said this was one of the best films of the 1960s. I agree totally. For it's type, the grindhouse/drive-in/late-nite/creature feature it is excellent vintage stuff with scary zombies, suspense, romance, adventure, violence...
Don't miss it if you're in to horror or cult films. William Joyce is a timeless hero in his role as writer Tom Harris. |
