Movie Reviews of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: One of the best zombie films ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
The main characters George and Edna meet each other through a very minor traffic accident. They make a deal to help each other out by traveling together to their destinations. They then find themselves facing the law when they become suspects in a murder due to a zombie attack. From there things begin to take off.
I really have to admit that true horror films like this spoil me. It's the reason why I'm so picky about my horror. And it's easy for me to brush off these mindless "fun" gorefest that just makes the brain soggy by the second. Night of the Living Dead and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie should be the blueprint for anyone trying to put together an outstanding zombie film.
The film is very slow getting started. It utilizes its atmosphere setting the tone for the grim encounters with the undead. The creepiness brings out the absolute best in the horror scenes. The build up to most of the zombie encounters are very well done.
The film also does a very good job with its believeable subplots. This adds to the overall story being told and they do come together by the end. I also loved the detailed gore scenes. When I look for a zombie film, I want to see some zombie terror and Corpses certainly delivers on that end. The scenes aren't overdone which is a plus as well.
This is a zombie film that is very high on my favorite list, number two to be exact. And one of my favorite horror films ever. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy well thought out horror. Don't come into this expecting anything fast paced. You will leave disappointed.
Movie Review: Actually an excellent movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
When a shaggy art dealer's motorcycle is put out of commission by a beautiful young woman's car, the two are forced to become traveling companions in the English countryside. At the same time, a strange and terrifying phenomenon has begun to occur. Farmers attempting to control pests with a new sonic radiation machine have revived more than just their crops. The dead have risen to feast upon the living, and that unwitting couple, George and Edna, are caught up in the middle of it when Edna's sister is accused of murdering her own husband. The thick-headed, local police won't believe her stories of a corpse doing the deed, so Edna and George begin to look into the matter. Their findings are truly ghastly!
Going by a variety of titles ("The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue" and "Don't Open the Window" among them), "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" was a film intended to be another "Night of the Living Dead" with the added attribute of color. Amazingly, its excellent writing, direction, and cast make it much more than just another copycat zombie flick! "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" deservedly holds a loyal cult following and is highly enjoyable throughout. It's a bit light on the zombie action till the last third of the film, but it doesn't fail to hold your attention with its believable characters, involving plot, eerie mood, and excellent performances, not to mention the loveliness of Cristina Galb? in the role of Edna. Ray Lovelock plays the unrelenting George, and Arthur Kennedy the assumptive inspector you'll love to hate. Helmed by Spanish director Jorge Grau, you'll be left with a desire to see more of his work in the horror genre. The single-disc, Anchor Bay DVD includes the TV spot for "Don't Open the Window", some radio spots, a still gallery in slideshow presentation, an enhanced widescreen, and an intro and informative, subtitled interview with the director. Well worth the purchase for fans of the zombie genre! Be warned, however, that a Two Disc version from Blue Underground is also available under the name: "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue".
Movie Review: Let other dvd releases of this movie lie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best zombie films to emerge from the depths of countless Night Of The Living Dead clones. Yes, this is a re-release of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" under it's alternate British title. However, the sound and picture have been re-re-mastered beautifully. The second disc has alot of great features. My favorite is the interview with actor Ray Lovelock (Autopsy, Live Like A Cop, Die Like A Man, and Emergency Squad). If you already have "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", I think you still need this release. Don't worry kiddies, I have the long out of print and high price first release that Anchorbay did as a limited edition tin and I have this release. This film is great and the music is wonderful too. Thanks to Blueunderground for their hard work and love of the genre.Movie Review: 'Let Sleeping Corpses Lie' under different name
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good zombie movie and I recommend it to any fan of the genre, but be warned - this is just a DVD re-release of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" so if you've seen that one or own it, don't be fooled into thinking this is a different movie.Movie Review: One of the best...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good zombie movie, perhaps one of the best. It's creepy and suspenseful. The story, acting and dialogue are decent. The zombies are convincing and the bloodletting is quite abundant. I haven't seen this particular version; I'm going off of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie," but I will check this one out. It also has one of the best film lines, "With your f***** clothes, and your long hair..."
