Movie Reviews of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Cool zombie flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
Intelligent story line. The lead male and most of the others aren't terrible actors. Make up is good. Nice surround sound. I like it very much!!!Movie Review: A Bright Zombie Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
To begin, this is one of the most interesting Zombie movies that I have ever seen. Of all the Zombie movies I have seen and own, this is really the only one that gives any explaination as to the existance of the Zombie, i.e, the farmer and his machine. I thought this was an excellent way to start the idea of the Zombie, instead of some Voodoo curse or like in the Romero films the Zombie just appears. Now in Night of the Living Dead, radiation was supposed to have caused the Zombie uprising however, in Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, there is a tangible element into the awakening of the undead. Not to mention that the picture quality is excellent and that it is bright. By that I mean that it isn't always shot in the shadows and at night with a bad camera. There are some night scenes that are shot very very well. So basically I thought that this film was excellent for a European Zombie flick. I enjoyed it and I believe that any Zombie fan will agree with me, and if you haven't yet seen this, I highly recommend viewing and purchasing this one!!Movie Review: Creepy Zombie Movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
First Of All I would like to say to those who compare this movie to Luci Fulci ,and George Romero. I respect some of your opinions but you cannot compare one movie to this director ,and one to the other because these directors all have there individual talent! This movies is not even inspired by night of the living dead. In My opinion it is more artistic, Creative, and completely diffrent than most zombie movies. I truly recommend this movie It Really creeped me out, The musie was Creepy and the zombies were very strange. Enjoy The Individual Talent Of This Director I Highly Recommend This Movie.Movie Review: Agricultural anxiety? Or sub-par zombie flick?
Summary: 2 Stars
I was not familiar with this film until recently, when I viewed it under the title 'The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue', which I'll bet carries considerably more weight for our British friends across the Pond. It looked like yet another 'infamous' Italian horror film, so I settled in prepared for a freak show and a good time. I have to agree with one reviewer who noted the film is simply not worthy of the hype, not at all. There are some things going for it, namely some of the atmosphere, the English setting and location shooting and a little bit of zombie action. I want to say there's something more to the whole story--that fancy new insecticide technology is inadvertently causing the dead to get up and walk about the English countryside--but I don't think it's there. Perhaps a comment on the farming industry in the UK? Methinks I'm thinking too much.
However, the film does a great job of nearly talking itself to death for a good forty minutes or so. And when we do get some zombie action, it's nothing great. Some very sick looking people with sub-par makeup waddle around before chewing on what look like sweet-meats from the local butcher, 'grossing' us out. Our protagonist, a 'strong, silent type' in a leather jacket with a commanding attitude (the early scenes in the gas station are plain funny in a badly dubbed (or seems-like-dubbed) clumsiness. The director gives us an amusing introduction, hoping we don't have a good time watching the film, presumably because it's supposed to disturb us but actually does much worse: bores us.
However, how can I fault Anchor Bay? They've done an excellent job cleaning up a 'cult' movie (don't even know how cult this is) that was unavailable for a long, long time. They always do a very reverent job on these movies, and it's admirable. Perhaps some big studios could learn a thing or two.
Recommended if you have to inspect every zombie flick out there (particularly Italian). But there are far better, namely the original Romero film this is obviously inspired by, as well as Romero's sequels and even Fulci's demented foray into the sub-genre. Americans may get a chuckle out of classic Britishisms like 'And don't bugger me about!' (Character to gas jockey).
