Edge-of-your-seat spaghetti zombie flick, shot mostly in Italy but set in England. A young man and woman out on a road trip see the flesh-eating living dead stagger across the English countryside (where, not coincidentally, a local farmer just started using an experimental radioactive pesticide machine). Naturally, the old coot police sergeant just thinks the two are drugged-out devil-worshipers and blames them for all the mutilated bodies. It’s a well-paced rollercoaster with some great stomach-ripping, entrails-chomping gore moments. The groovy psychedelic score, full of eerie organ work and chants, by Giuliano Sorgini works wonders here, along with layers of zombie gurgles and moans recorded by director Jorge Grau himself.
This goes by about 15,000 titles. In Italy it’s called Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti. The American DVD release uses one of the its American titles, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. I kinda like the British title, The Living Dead at The Manchester Morgue, myself.
