Wiki.
Valley of the Zombies is a 1946 American horror film directed by Philip Ford, written by Dorrell McGowan and Stuart E. McGowan, and starring Robert Livingston, Adrian Booth, Ian Keith, Thomas E. Jackson, Charles Trowbridge and Earle Hodgins. The film is about Ormand Murks (Keith), who is recently brought back from the dead and tours the city for human blood, predominantly from his old enemies. This draws the attention of police lieutenant Blair (Jackson). Doctor Terry Evans (Livingston) decides to track down Murks to stop his murder spree.
The film was Ford's second film as a director as part of his contract at Republic Pictures. It was shot in September 1945 and released on May 24, 1946. Retrospective reviews predominantly focus on the lack of any zombies promised in the films title while finding the film lacking in thrills.
