Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1973)

Horror/Comedy     Not Rated

Plot

Actors led by Alan Ormsby go to graveyard on remote island to act out necromantic ritual. The ritual works, and soon the dead are walking about and chowing down on human flesh.

Acting

Decent enough, but a bit amateurish.

Gore

Some zombie cannibalism and bloody bodies.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

This is directed by Bob Clark, who a few years later would direct one of the best slashers ever made "Black Christmas (1974), and eventually one of the most over-rated comedies ever "Porky's". This falls somewhere in between the two. It had a strong final act, but the first 2 acts where a bit underwhelming and slow, but worth sitting through for the ending. Not his best work, but wasn't a waste of time, and worth buying.
