House of the Living Dead
Lionel Friedberg lighting cameraman
The storyline follows a white family running a plantation farm on the Cape Colony in South Africa. The family consists of a mother Margaret Inglis and her two sons, Michael and Breck both played by Mark Burns. Michael runs the house while Breck spends his time alone in his room, deformed and insane, conducting experiments to try to prove the soul is an organic object able to live outside the human body. Michaels fiance Mary Shirley Anne Field arrives to marry him, much to the mothers dismay as she wants the family to end so the long history of madness can stop. Meanwhile, strange things begin to happen at the plantation, such as voodoo, which is assumed to be the work of the local black neighbors, and murder.The film contains very little gore and no zombies at all, as would generally be expected of a title containing Living Dead. It is sometimes confused with the substantially more popular video game series House of the Dead. It is 86 minutes long 85 in the UK cut version and is rated Australia R and UK PG. It goes under various names Doctor Maniac in the UK and US, Curse of the Dead also in the US, and Kill, Baby, Kill when released to video. ........
