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 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
