'Vengeance of the Zombies' (1972) – Leon Klimovsky.

'Vengeance of the Zombies' successfully reunites Slo-mo supremo, Leon Klimovsky, with everyone's favourite barrel-chested genre polymath, Paul Naschy. In the unrepentantly lurid 'Vengeance of The Zombies', Euro-horror's most versatile Bogeymen concocts a delirious invocation of blasphemous Black magic Voodoo, obscene occult orgies, bloodthirsty revenge and deranged zombie carnage! Naschy's sordidly spooky shenanigans of hokey Haitian voodoo is gruesomely reanimated, and given a pleasingly kinky twist! The enjoyably pulpy formula of a demented, vengeance-craving sorcerer and his dead-eyed barmy army of murderously inclined minions are luridly revivified in, Paul Naschy's gloriously macabre, riotously entertaining narrative.

'Vengeance of the Zombies' is a far better horror film than its rather prosaic title might suggest. A superbly imaginative, gloriously grisly, riotously sin-slaked 70s shocker! The macabre machinations of a vengeful Voodoo priest are excitingly imagined with, Paul Naschy's signature zeal! Surrealistic sequences of slo-mo zombie terror, reckless revivification of dead flesh, and the warped lusts of a sinister shaman for his luridly entranced redhead acolyte, are given additional pep by, Juan Carlos Calderón atmospheric score, producing one of the more unduly neglected soundtracks.
