VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES (1973) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0069165/) - This is a great bad movie starring Paul Naschy as two brothers from India. One a guru and the other a Satanist who raises the dead with ritual magic. The film has many good horror scenes in it even if the story is dull. I like the slow motion they use every time the female zombies rise and you even have a masked cape Naschy looking like V FOR VENDETTA. The Indian Guru angle was a weak part of this movie. The film also features some 70's music that was strange especially during this one funeral. It was part of my Mill Creek Entertainment Drive-In Classics 50 Pack.
:thumbup: (6 out of 10 Stars) Could have been better.
Never seen it, though I hope to get that Drive-In Classics set soon.
The Mills Creek version is totally uncut from what I can tell, but it has some dark transfer moments, but it won't effect the more interesting scenes. I think you'll find it interesting Shadowfyre.

You won't be disappointed. It's a bit surreal and slightly strange, though I've heard the Mill Creek version is cut. I have an review of the old FVC DVD up here (http://www.hinterwelt.com/reviews/vengence.html) in case you'd like to compare.
Wait... don't buy the low budget versions:

The Spanish horror collection from BCI, debuting in March, includes a fully restored and totally uncut (ie. never seen before in the USA) print of this film, plus loads of bonus features.
See my preview page (http://mondo-esoterica.net/upcoming%20DVD/Spanish%20Horror.html) for more. :thumbup:
I might have to give this one a try. I have the Drive-In set, but didn't even realize this was in it.
Thanks for the heads up Scott!
I've posted an updated review, with a couple screen caps, to my Mise-en-scene Crypt (http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-qzcELew6frWBZspks_7SsnUuv9VNTUA-?cq=1&p=176) blog.
Enjoy.
The reason I say that I believe Mill Creek Entertainment has an uncut version is because of the gore and gratuitous moments (if you know what I mean).
Those Paul Naschy DVD's look awesome though. Thanks R-T-C Tim and Kester Pelagius for the imput. The Mill Creek transfer is weak at moments, but I can't image what they cut out of this film because it is pretty wild. If it is cut then I definately want to see the un-cut.
