Shirley Anne Field, born in 1938 in England, emerged as a prominent figure in British cinema during the New Wave era. She gained recognition for her role in Peeping Tom (1960), where she showcased her ability to blend vulnerability with intensity. Field also appeared in Beat Girl (1960) and The Damned (1963), contributing to the provocative narratives of the time. Her later work in House of the Living Dead (1974) further solidified her status within the realm of cult and exploitation cinema, making her a vital part of SassyFlix's eclectic catalog.
House of the Living Dead
A white family running a plantation farm on the Cape Colony in South Africa consists of a mother and her two sons, Michael and Breck. 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. Michael's fiancée Mary arrives to marry him, much to the mother's 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.
