Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

Picked this up off a casual reference here and loved it!  Great zombie flick.  Very atmospheric, and spooky.  Kinda cool twist on the zombie genre.  I definitely recommend this movie!

I hear the new DVD looks great. I have the Anchor Bay version titled Let Sleeping Corpses Lie...it definitely ranks near the top of my favorite Zombie films list.

It's an excellent transfer.  I haven't seen any of the older releases to do a side by side, but the picture is beautiful.  The release is a 2 disc set with some cool extras, even though most of the featurettes are in Italian with sub-titles.

This is one of my favourites Spanish/Italian Horror movies. If you like this director, Jorge Grau, take a look to other of his bests films: "Ceremonia Sangrienta", the title in USA is The legend of the Blood Castle, and is based in the countess Bathory.

One of my favorites! A great film in the zombie genre, and always surprising to the first time viewer, how shocking and powerful it can be.

Just watched it last night and I am a fan.  My wife and I both loved it!  Very creepy film; from the effects to the way it was shot.  I have got to check out some more of Grau's work, because his directing style is just amazing.

BTW...the most creepy and disturbing thing about this film to me was the soundtrack.  Grau used this "death rattle" sound, like the last rasping bit of air escaping from a dying person's lungs, each time the zombies were present.  In the interview with him on the DVD, he says he got the idea from memories of watching his own father die.
