When a priest commits suicide in the graveyard of a small town called Dunwich he opens the Gates of Hell and a reporter, a psychic and a psychiatrist race to try and close them again. The priest enlists a few zombies who like to squeeze the brains out of their victims and there are some nasty gore scenes in the film including a hapless woman vomiting up her internal organs. The film achieves a creepy atmosphere but the cast aren´t great and the plot makes little sense. The zombies aren't traditional shamblers, instead they seem to have supernatural powers and appear out of nowhere to slay their victims. This is worth a look if you enjoy gory death scenes.

Gore - some pretty nasty gore with brains being squished out of heads and a girl throwing up her internal organs

Zombies - these aren't really proper zombies, more supernatural as they appear out of nowhere and don't eat people
