This movie has a surprisingly high rating on this site. I gave it a 5, but I find it difficult to rate. It's about this guy, Serge Chekov (or something like that), who comes for the reading of his uncle's last will and testament and soon finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery. Lots of people seem suspect (particularly Paul Naschy as Igor, who is practically shoved in your face as the mad killer), then soon the main character is accused. Meanwhile, there's a group of zombies who may or may not be the culprits.
This is definitely not a great movie, but it has some decent moments. Unfortunately, there are also many very stupid things in the movie. There were stretches of up to 15 minutes where I genuinely enjoyed it, then along came a very stupid 5 or 10 minutes that immediately made me forget how much I was enjoying it. Definitely see it if you're a zombie movie completist or some kind of deranged Paul Naschy fan, otherwise just go rent something else.
*****SPOILER WARNING!!!************
I do think that the reason behind the dead coming back to life has got to be the stupidest one I have ever seen. A capsule in the brain that receives the doctor's commands??? If that really is true, then WHY does the doctor himself come alive at the end of the film?
