plague of the zombies (1966)

aka The Zombies.
The new doctor in a Cornish village is baffled when men start dying mysteriously and asks his old Professor for help solving the problem. The Professor's daughter persuades him to help and they travel down, managing to antagonise the local gentry on the way. When they arrive they find the locals distrustful of the doctor and unwilling to help him discover what, or who, is killing their family members. Then a villager swears that he's seen his dead brother on the moors.
John Gilling keeps things rattling along nicely, with plenty of shocks along the way. This is another example of a how good Hammer films could be.
