Much maligned but unjustly so, director Edward Cahn proves with ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU that, given the right tools to work with, he was as capable a director as anyone toiling in the Hollywood vineyards of the 1950s. Allison Hayes as "a feisty broad" shoulders (...) her share of the burden in aid of. The zombies of the title might well have shambled out of WHITE ZOMBIE or even I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE: they're of the laid back, unhurried variety often found in early Twentieth Century Fright Films (and even manage to "remind" one of the ghosts in John Carpenter's classic Fright Film, THE FOG). ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU is proof positive that Cahn was a very capable filmmaker in his own right and is worth a look by fans of the genre.
