Surprise! I actually liked this better than George A. Romero's 1968 defining classic "Night of the Living Dead." Granted, "...Living Dead" came first, and they're both important horror films in their own right, but "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" was more exciting and entertaining, and less about bad actors like Karl Hardman (no hate towards Duane Jones though) arguing in a fortified house with the gro... read more

The plot: a young antiquarian goes on vacation. On the way he meets a young woman on her way to the farm of his sister. In the field she is attacked by a strange drifter who allegedly had been dead for a week. The reason is a new experimental machine the Ministry of Agriculture, through ultrasound, kills pests and insects. When the couple arrives at the farm, they find a man killed by this spectra... read more

A cop chases two hippies suspected of a series of Manson family-like murders; unbeknownst to him, the real culprits are the living dead, brought to life with a thirst for human flesh by chemical pesticides being used by area farmers.

"22.11. Netflix Zombie-alagenren kovimpia ja näkemättömimpiä nimiä on juurikin, mitä toivoo espanjalais-italialaiselta vankkaan kulttiasemaan nousseelta Englannin maaseudulle sijoittuvalta zombie-läträykseltä. Mahtavan tunnelmallista (vaikka vain vähän roskaista) iloittelua viehättävän pöhköine taudinkuvaselityksineen, jonka tunnelmoinnista on isolti kiittäminen erinomaista musiikin ja hiljaisuuden käyttöä.

Romero zombie movie, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue places more emphasis on the atmosphere. Thanks to the fantastic set designs, the use of fog, and "
