One of the best zombie shockers of the 1970s, this Spanish-Italian coproduction (also known as The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue and Don't Open the Window, among other titles) is a real international affair. Inspired by George Romero's genre-shattering American hit Night of the Living Dead, it was shot in England by a Spanish director with a largely British cast, and supplemented by Spanish zombies and American character actor Arthur Kennedy as a bitter Irish police detective (with only a hint of a brogue). He's investigating a sudden rash of violent murders (the work of Satanists, he's convinced) and closes in on a pair of newcomers to the sleepy Northern England town, longhaired antique dealer Ray Lovelock and his nervous traveling companion Christine Galbó. Only they know the real culprits: newly deceased corpses, revived by agricultural experiments in ultrasonic radiation that are also turning newborns into vicious little monsters. Director Jorge Grau delivers all the stumbling zombies and gory flesh feasts you could hope for in a 1974 movie, but more importantly he creates the rare zombie thriller that manages to be both scary and smartly done. Some of the twists are a bit more far-fetched than others (why does dabbing blood on the eyes of long-dead cadavers magically bring them to life, and how would a zombie even know to try?), but it's a minor quibble in the face of the startling blood frenzy and Grau's satisfying dark dramatic twists.
The DVD also features an introduction and a 20-minute interview with Grau ('I hope you will suffer profoundly,' he jokes in the opening), as well as a gallery of posters and stills, TV ads, and radio spots. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - A green planet may mean the dead will walk the earth!
Now if you are a horror fan or a zombie fan, this film definately fits the bill. This takes place in the rural parts of England, mostly outside of Manchester. The premise is based around a newly introduced couple, one heading to visit her sister and the other a salesman in antiquities who mistakenly meet when the woman puts the salesman's motorcycle in shop after hitting it at a gas station. The two, taking trips to the outskirts of Manchester, head out together to their destinations, soon find ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best zombie films ever made.
The main characters George and Edna meet each other through a very minor traffic accident. They make a deal to help each other out by traveling together to their destinations. They then find themselves facing the law when they become suspects in a murder due to a zombie attack. From there things begin to take off.
I really have to admit that true horror films like this spoil me. It's the reason why I'm so picky about my horror. And it's easy for me to brush off these mindless "fun" gorefest ... Read More
Rating: - Actually an excellent movie!
When a shaggy art dealer's motorcycle is put out of commission by a beautiful young woman's car, the two are forced to become traveling companions in the English countryside. At the same time, a strange and terrifying phenomenon has begun to occur. Farmers attempting to control pests with a new sonic radiation machine have revived more than just their crops. The dead have risen to feast upon the living, and that unwitting couple, George and Edna, are caught up in the middle of it when Edna's sister is accused ... Read More
Rating: - Let other dvd releases of this movie lie
This is one of the best zombie films to emerge from the depths of countless Night Of The Living Dead clones. Yes, this is a re-release of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" under it's alternate British title. However, the sound and picture have been re-re-mastered beautifully. The second disc has alot of great features. My favorite is the interview with actor Ray Lovelock (Autopsy, Live Like A Cop, Die Like A Man, and Emergency Squad). If you already have "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", I think you still need this release. ... Read More
Rating: - 'Let Sleeping Corpses Lie' under different name
This is a good zombie movie and I recommend it to any fan of the genre, but be warned - this is just a DVD re-release of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" so if you've seen that one or own it, don't be fooled into thinking this is a different movie.
