 An overlooked zombie blast November 17, 2009
N. Durham (Philadelphia, PA)
Seeing The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (AKA Let Sleeping Corpses Lie and a host of other titles besides) get released on Blu-Ray is a most definite treat indeed. A long overlooked and underappreciated zombie blast since it first saw the light of day, it is just so wonderful seeing it now in restored hi-def glory. Ray Lovelock and Christine Galbo star as traveling companions in the U.K. who come afoul of the zombies rising from the graves of a small town after an experimental pesticide is used on the country side. Adding to their problems is the clueless cop (Arthur Kennedy) who believes that they are responsible for the waves of violence hitting the town. Directed by Jorge Grau, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue still manages to be effective to this day, with subtle bits of social commentary peppered throughout, plus some intensely gorey scenes. All in all, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is a pure zombie blast, and whether you're an old fan of the film or a newcomer, picking it up on this superb Blu-Ray should be a no-brainer if you're a horror/zombie fan in the least.
 Overlooked horror classic that soars on HD! November 4, 2009

In the countryside of the UK, it seems there has been a special made radioactive pesticide guaranteed to get rid of all the bugs for farmers. But unfortunately it has a serious side effect as it turns people into zombies and even brings the dead back to life to prey upon the living's flesh. A young hippie couple witnessed a horrific cannibalistic murder were accused of the crime they didn't commit as they must convince the police that it was flesh-eating cannibal like creatures that did it and they soon will find out.
Thrilling and shocking yet totally brilliant Italian/Spanish Sci-fi horror that is a very criminally underrated masterpiece of the genre. One of the better "Night of the Living Dead" inspired European horror flicks and pre-dates "Dawn of the Dead" and Fulci'z "Zombie 2" years later, it's very well made and greatly acted with horrific make-up effects. The red-eyed zombies definitely inspired those creatures the audiences of today saw in both 28 Days Later and Weeks Later movies, there is some graphic gore shown in this movie including cannibalism with make-up effects from famed Italian make-up artist Gianneto De Rossi that it might upset some viewers. But it's a very smart and unique cult favorite that has been rediscovered over the years thanks to DVD and video rentals under the titles "Don't Open the Window" and "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie".
This Blu-Ray offers this cult classic on a stunning high defintion transfer with awesome picture and sound that nicely remasters the movie very well. The extras are quite good too such as featurettes, Interviews, Trailers, Radio Spots, and Poster-and-still gallery.
Also recommended: "Night of the Creeps", "Night of the Living Dead (1968 and 1990)", "Dawn of the Dead (1978 and 2004)", "Day of the Dead (1985)", "Demons", "From Dusk Till Dawn", "Land of the Dead", "Diary of the Dead", "Grindhouse", "Zombieland", "Shaun of the Dead", "Re-Animator", "Bride of Re-Animator", "Beyond Re-Animator", "28 Days and 28 Weeks Later", "Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror", "Nightmare City", "Zombie (a.k.a. Zombi 2)", "City of the Living Dead (a.k.a. Gates of Hell)", "House By The Cemetery", "The Return of the Living Dead Trilogy", "Lifeforce", "The Serpent and The Rainbow", "Hell of the Living Dead (a.k.a. Night of the Zombies, Virus, Zombie Creeping Flesh)", "Phantasm", "Scanners", "Dead Alive (a.k.a. Braindead)", "Undead" and "The Beyond".
A Under the Radar Zombie Masterpiece That was made for HD October 19, 2009

I had to Pre-Order this title on BR
Cause I'm sure it will be a Great Transfer in HD
Just to see the Great Out-Door Locations (which are NOT Sets) in HD will be worth the price of the BR Disc
The Score is also ***** Stars Very Creepy and Fits the Film
Director Jorge Grau is Not given Nearly enough credit for this Film
The Look and feel is pound for pound on the Same Level as NOTLD
The Living Dead @ Manchester Morgue Is by far on One of the Best and Rarely Seen Zombie film after Night of the Living Dead
It's Close to Perfect Much like, NOTLD it has a number of Social Commentaries hidden inside The Film
a GREAT Prologue to Romero's Dead Film's!!!!!! (Along with Fulci's Zombie, and or Romero's The Crazies)
And could easily be Considered a Twist on the "Origin" of what Caused The Dead Out-Break
A Must see for all Horror Fans
