The Living Dead of the Manchester Morgue [AKA Let Sleeping Corpses Lie] (1974)

Out on the English countryside, zombies are rising. No, this is not Shaun of the Dead or 28 Days Later this is a Spanish/ Italian production about a man and woman mistakenly believed to be satanic murderers because the police inspector in charge doesn’t realize that a new scientific farming technology is causing the dead to rise and eat the living. Right from the start I could tell I was in for a treat. This is a classic zombie film much like Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead. It has its twists and turns and keeps moving at a fine pace unlike some other Italian Zombie movies. I was pleasantly surprised. Grade: B+
