Horror Rises From The Tomb (1973) 7/10

Horror Rises From the Tomb is my first foray into the huge catalog of veteran Spanish actor Paul Naschy and I want to know where he's been hiding all my life.
Horror Rises From the Tomb is about an evil sorcerer that was caught and executed hundreds of years ago and buried on land that none other then Naschy owns. After a seance gone wrong he decides to prove that ghosts don't exist and exhumes the body, performing the rite of resurrection only to unleash the evil necromancer upon the earth again.

Zombies, naked chicks, blood and gore, and crazy sorcery fill this fun cheese-fest up to the brim. The action is graphic and the pace is pretty quick given the age of the film. The music is super b-grade electric organ zaniness that really seems out of place to this viewer.

Overall if you're looking for a fun old-school hammer style flick with more gore and nudity check out this campy flick.

Gore - mild-medium
Nudity - medium
Overall - 7/10
