Watch: The Plague of the Zombies 1966 123movies, Full Movie Online – Young workers are dying because of a mysterious epidemic in a little village in Cornwall. Doctor Thompson is helpless and asks professor James Forbes for help. The professor and his daughter Sylvia travel to Thomson. Terrible things happen soon, beyond imagination or reality. Dead people are seen near an old, unused mine. Late people seem to live suddenly. Professor Forbes presumes that black magic is involved and someone has extraordinary power. He doesn’t know how close he is: the dead become alive because of a magic voodoo-ritual, and so they must serve their master as mindless zombies….
Plot: 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. But his magic relies on human sacrifice and he unleashes his army of the undead on the unsuspecting village with horrific consequences.

Quality Hammer horror film
One of the numerous ‘period’ horror movies to come out of Hammer Film Productions in the late ’50s and ’60s, “Plague of the Zombies” is pretty typical of the genre (excepting the absence of perennials Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee). Unwelcome newcomers arrive in a rural village that clearly has some dark secret, get warned away, refuse to leave, and ultimately get sucked into the evil goings-on. While the zombie make-up leaves something to be desired (by current standards), the script and story is quite good as is the acting. The film was shot concurrently with “The Reptile”, sharing sets, cast members (including the lovely Jacqueline Pearce, perhaps best known as the slinkily evil Servalan in “Blake’s Seven”) and to some extent, plot*. While far from being the first Zombie film, “Plague of the Zombies” was highly influential: much of the current zombie aesthetic is a mashup of this film and the following year’s “Night of the Living Dead”. Recommended for aficionados of vintage horror films; however, modern fans, used to the gore and graphic decomposition in, for example, “The Walking Dead”, may find the zombies a bit silly, which will pretty much kill the mood.
