City of the Dead (1960)

Rating: 3 1/2 Stars (out of 4)

Witchy Woman

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

Buy City of the Dead on DVD.

City of the Dead is a terrific little black-and-white treasure, and easily the best of the "B" movies I've viewed lately. A student travels to a cursed small town to find information on witches for her term paper but (of course) finds much more than she bargained for. Christopher Lee stars in this beautifully atmospheric horror tale
