Strange zombie movie that was made after Night and before Dawn.

This is a very sweet experience for me. I am reviewing an old zombie movie from the 70's for the first time in a long time, after I had thought I had basically reviewed all of them. That made me sad as I love watching old horror movies, especially zombie ones. This one was somewhat good, very well made and had plenty of gore. The main reason I score it a bit low is more of a matter of personal preference. That is the part of the plot that has the police and everyone else suspecting the two leads in the film of performing the killings rather than that of the undead. I just do not care for the innocent getting the blame for the killings, like I said this is a matter of personal preference so if this does not bother you and you like zombie movies then by all means see this film. I myself, even with the dislike of that plot element still enjoyed the movie overall. The story is good as it features a rather good reason for the dead to come back to life and attack the living. A dude gets on his motorcycle at the beginning of the film and is riding through the country when at a gas station a woman backs into said motorcycle. I really feel bad for this guy as he gets wrapped up in this whole mess thanks to this woman's clumsiness. Well the female encounters a rather strange man that she fears means to do her harm. She suspects right as this strange man ends up killing the husband of her sister. Of course, the police suspect everyone except the killer and thus we have the police trying to capture the two leads and the two leads trying to get to the bottom of the killings. There could have also been more zombie scenes in this film, but the two really big ones are very well done as there is one at a cemetery tomb underground and the climatic battle in a hospital. Very gory and the deaths were surprisingly good. There are times when the story got frustrating for me as the main dude kept destroying all the evidence of the undead and incriminating he and the girl further. Still, over all it was a nice zombie flick. Loved the ending as the one guy said he wouldn't mind if the person did rise from the dead so he could kill him again. He whiffed on that chance.
