This is a disappointing collaboration between the director of British cult horror movie Death Line Gary Sherman and Alien writers Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. In his final film role Jack Albertson plays a mad mortician who revives the dead in a sleepy New England town, and then murders people to supply him with fresh corpses. James Farentino plays the perplexed local sheriff and look out, too, for Robert Englund (of Freddy Krueger fame) as one of the zombies. It's uneven but pleasingly gory (the zombies keep having to return to Albertson for weekly touch-ups) with stand-out make-up effects from Stan Winston, who would later do pioneering work on Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. This film became one of many caught up in the UK's video nasties controversy of the 1980s and was denied a certificate for almost ten years.
