Revenge of the Zombies 12/17/24

The living dead didn’t hunger for brains back in the 1940s, but they did walk with Frances Dee, elect a King and perform on Broadway. Monogram’s second microbudgeted Zombie opus gives John Carradine one of his first mad doctor roles. The fine actor dignifies inconsequential plot complications, mixing chemicals to create Zombie storm troopers for Hitler. The drama is tepid and the zombies goose-step when they march, but the camera direction by Steve Sekely is above Monogram’s usual standard. The most fun is provided by the talented Mantan Moreland, whose comedic antics steal the show. With an audio commentary by Tom Weaver. On Blu-rayfrom KL Studio Classics.
