      Dark deeds are afoot in a Cornish village as Sir James Forbes and his daughter
      investigate a host of mysterious deaths. It turns out the local Squire is transforming
      the villagers into zombies and enslaving them within his mine!

      This fabulously eerie Hammer film may lack the star names, but it's still a treat. Andre
      Morell plays Sir James Forbes with complete conviction and there's great menace
      and atmospehere in the film's early stages. Oh okay, so it all goes pear-shaped
      when we finally enter the mine and reveal the fate of the villagers, lumbering around
      ineffectually with flimsy zombie make-up. But who cares. It's a journey well
      well worth taking...

     Peter appears as a zombie in the much celebrated graveyard nightmare,
     1hr into the film. You can see him lumbering around a gravestone and closing
     in on the local practitioner (Brook Williams).

     Presumably, he's also present during the film's climax, as the zombies
     catch fire in the mine. But we've not spied him yet!...
