The Plague of the Zombies (1966)

After receiving a peculiar letter from his one-time student, Sir James Forbes (André Morell) travels to a Cornish village to get the lowdown on what it meant. The last thing he expected was to hear tales of restless dead walking the moors, but in horror films you often get what you least expect.
It's a zombie movie from Hammer that's a little formulaic, with the educated older gent leading the investigation alongside a younger, less experienced aide. It's no Night of the Living Dead (1968), but it's engaging in its own way, with the majority of the cast well-suited to their respective roles.
