Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
(a.k.a. The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue)
(Jorge Grau; 1974)
(Anchor Bay Entertainment)
-Overview-
Tow travelling companions, George and Edna, come across a small town infested with the living dead that are satisfying their cannibalistic hunger one anyone they come across. Discovering that an agricultural machine using radiation waves is at the root of all the havoc, George and Edna fight for their survival and their innocence as they are pursued by a relentless detective who is convinced they are responsible for the ghoulish acts of violence plaguing the countryside.
A true classic entry in the zombie subgenre. Plenty of excellent gore effects abound as the living dead tear their victims apart and chomp on their bleeding entrails. An ok amount of T&A as well. A must have for zombie fans.
