🧟 The thing that applies to a lot #HammerHorror films as far as I'm concerned unfortunately applies to #ThePlagueOfTheZombies as well. There's a lot to like aesthetically but as a whole the film ultimately had very little to give for me. Except for quite a unique use for the zombies I'll grant. 📽️🎞️
