Dr Peter Blood (Kieron Moore) arrives back at the sleepy Cornish village he grew up in, having left a medical research facility in Vienna for some reason. Meanwhile men are disappearing, though Peter is keen to help the police especially when a man turns up dying. Later he is discovered during the autopsy conducting a bizarre medical experiment. He thinks he can bring the dead back to life.
When his girlfriend Linda (Hazel Court) discovers what he is doing she is repulsed. Peter plans to bring Linda's dead husband back to life to finish his experiment...
For much of this film this is more of a mystery than a horror. The film is perfectly paced and gradually builds up to a fine macabre final act with a big twist.
