The premise
When a series of murders hit the remote English countryside, a detective suspects a pair of travelers when it is actually the work of the undead, jarred back to life by an experimental ultra-sonic radiation machine used by the Ministry of Agriculture to kill insects.
Horror Vault's take
In the sun-dappled but deeply unsettling English countryside, two unlikely traveling companions find themselves at the centre of a mounting nightmare when the local dead refuse to stay buried. A government agricultural experiment — intended to wipe out pests with ultrasonic radiation — appears to have stirred something far more dangerous. As bodies pile up, a dogged and hostile detective pins the blame squarely on the wrong people, leaving the real threat to spread unchecked. This Italian-Spanish co-production delivers a grimy, atmospheric slice of 1970s European horror that sits comfortably alongside the era's finest gut-punch zombie cinema.
