Blu-ray Reviews of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Overlooked horror classic that soars on HD!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Description of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue [Blu-ray]
The Epic Zombie Shocker Returns As You've Never Seen It Before!Two traveling companions, George (Ray Lovelock of AUTOPSY) and Edna (Christine Galbo of THE KILLER MUST KILL AGAIN), come across a small town infested with the "living dead" that are satisfying their cannibalistic hunger on 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 survival and their innocence as they are pursued by a relentless detective (Arthur Kennedy of THE ANTICHRIST and FANTASTIC VOYAGE) who is convinced they are responsible for the ghoulish acts of violence plaguing the countryside.
Also know as LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE and DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW, this carefully constructed and beautifully photographed tale of the undead roaming the English countryside comes from acclaimed Spanish director Jorge Grau. Blue Underground is proud to present THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE in hair-raising High Definition, fully restored and remastered from the original camera negative, and bursting at the seams with eye-opening Extras!

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
