    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Jorge Grau purposely cast an actress known for having a flat chest in the role of the nurse so that a fake chest piece could be applied that the zombies could tear into for her death scene.
    • Goofs
      If you look at the lettering on the door while the police and George are at the Old Owl, you can see that owl is mistakenly spelled "Olw".
    • Quotes

      The Inspector: I wish the dead could come back to life, you bastard, so then I could kill you again.

    • Alternate versions
      The 1987 UK Network video release was pre-cut by 1 minute 27 secs by the distributors before submission (as per the cinema version) and then cut by a further 26 secs by the BBFC
      • the edits being made to remove shots of the policeman's mutilated body, Guthrie pulling a stake from his throat, all footage of flesh eating, shots of zombies on fire, the killing of the Doctor with an axe, and a nurse being eviscerated and her breast ripped off. The 2003 Anchor Bay UK DVD features the full uncut version of the film (all previous cuts have finally been waived) and has the added bonus of an alternative opening credit sequence. The aforementioned "eyeball munching scene" has been proved to have never existed as no version of the film contains it and no footage of it can be found. There is still speculation over whether or not the scene was shot but if it was, the footage is now long gone.

    A group of dead coming back to life terrorizes the countryside, cemetery and a hospital
    This clever horror movie deals about a couple (Ray Lovelock, Cristina Galbo) afflicted by stalking, vicious Zombies (Jose Lifante, Fernando Hilbeck,Joaquin Hinojosa and many others) relieved by ultrasonic radiation caused by agricultural experimentation. Meanwhile a grumpy Police Inspector (Arthur Kennedy) is investigating the strange events.

    Gory, gruesome , and ghastly cannibal feast in which the stumbling flesh-eating stiffs are reanimated by means of radioactive waves and can be only destroyed by fire. Unrelenting shock-feast laced with touches of ecological denounce. Army of Zombies appearance roaming the countryside , graveyard and some people besieged inside a hospital deliver the goods , enough to be interesting. Jorge Grau's first great success is compelling directed with startling visual content . This frightening movie is plenty of thrills, chills, body-count executed by the eerie Zombies and photographed in glimmer color with lurid images and phenomenal results. This is a classic Zombie film where the intrigue,tension, suspense appears threatening and lurking in the foggy outdoors and every room, and corridors from a hospital. At the time considered the plus ultra of disturbing movie is less stomach-churning by nowadays's standards, yet its fundamental power to thrill remains undiminished. Agreeable performance by Cristina Gabo who made various Giallo and Horror movies as ¨The boarding school¨ , ¨What have you done to Solange¨, ¨The killer must strike again¨. This genuinely frightening story with correct utilization of images-shock is well photographed by Francisco Sempere in location of England : Manchester, Derbyshires , Italy : Cinecitta studios and Madrid . Creepie and eerie musical score by Sorgini. Jorge Grau who also made another good terror film titled 'Ceremonia Sangrienta' creates a rare Zombie thriller that manages to be both scary and skilfully made, deserving its cult status . Rating: Good, this is one more imaginative horror pictures in which the camera stalks in sinister style . An average budget horror movie that still packs a punch for those who like to be terrorized out their wits.
