Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Amazing the actors he managed to pull together (makes it easier to overlook the bad actors). Also, the special effects and storyline for his time, based on his budget, are excellent... especially when you consider the possibility that this old movie about the future has some interesting modern correlations (also check out this UFO caught on a BBC camera).  Also, it's very well-written compared to some movies made even today.
From IMDb: "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?" That's the question on the lips of the narrator of this tale about flying saucers, zombies and cardboard tombstones. A pair of aliens, angered by the "stupid minds" of planet Earth, set up shop in a California cemetery. Their plan: to animate an army of the dead to march on the capitals of the world. (The fact that they have only managed to resurrect three zombies to date has not discouraged them.) An intrepid airline pilot living near the cemetery must rescue his wife from this low-budget terror. "Can you prove it *didn't* happen?"

Stars: Tor Johnson, Vampira, Tom Keene, and Gregory Walcott

This one gets 1 out of 5 stars. I would have given it another star for color or better acting. Some things are just stupid but the ending looks like it may have been copied by the 'I see dead people' guy. This movie may also be an original precursor to Walking Dead, but the fire thing is new. Also, that first zombie should have just eaten that guy. and so on.

Original Movie Synopsis: In this classic yet still creepy horror film, strangers hold up in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse and battle constant attacks from dead locals who have been brought back to life by mysterious radiation:
