DR. BLOOD’S COFFIN-1961-Thrown out of medical school in Vienna for experimenting on human subjects, Dr. Peter Blood (Kieron Moore) returns to his small hometown which is being plagued by the robbery of medical supplies and the disappearances of locals. Actually Blood is responsible for the mayhem as he’s using the victims for his experiments in conquering death, keeping them prisoner in some caves. While covering his tracks he finds time to romance his father’s nurse (Hazel Court). When she rejects him, he raises her dead husband from his grave and is eventually destroyed by him. Ian Hunter plays Dr. Blood the elder and Kenneth J. Warren is the investigating police sergeant.
Director Sidney J. Furie made other horror movies (like THE ENTITY) but also helmed a variety of bigger budget films like THE IPCRESS FILE, LADY SINGS THE BLUES, GABLE & LOMBARD, IRON EAGLE and SUPERMAN IV:THE QUEST FOR PEACE. Screenwriter Nathan Juran directed ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMEN and HELLCATS OF THE NAVY! Nicolas Roeg is credited as camera operator.
