I initially thought that Horror Rises from the Tomb was a Hammer horror movie, it's almost indistinguishable in fact.
Instead it's a Spanish feature, during the time Spain was known for fantastic array of horror movies especially zombie ones. Alas this is most certainly not one of them.
It tells the story of a pair of witches....lycanthropes...vampires....somethings who are excecuted for their crimes. Cut forward to the 1970's and they're back, and there are some crappy looking zombies in there as well for some reason and erm.....well it's all a big ol' mess.
The plot is an inchorent cluster of nonsense and stupidity, the performances are poor even by the days standards and it honestly doesn't really have anything going for it at all.
Poorly written, poorly constructed, this is one to go out of your way to avoid.
The Good:
I liked it from "The End" onwards
The Bad:
Tacky soundtrack
Disjointed plot
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If you took a Hammer horror movie blended it with a Blind Dead film, removed the skeletons, the production values, and every level of competence you'd have Horror Rises from the Tomb.
