A man wants to spend his weekend in a lonely and quiet village after being working in a very polluted city of Manchester. After a long trip he decides to stop in a gas station, where a beautiful woman accidentally breaks his motorcycle.
After a short argument they decide to go to the woman's village while the man's motorcycle is being repaired. But something strange is happening in the village: a recently dead beggar was seen walking in the fields, a mysterious homicide happened in the main character sister's house, newborn babies have strange reactions...
That was the introduction for the one of the most frightening horror movies made in the 70s. Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (also known as Living Dead At Manchester Morgue) is an international horror movie made by Jorge Grau, a catalan film director! The cast includes actors from England, Spain and Italy!!!
First of all, I must tell you that the film is not so fearful, but it's very frightening because of the excellent actor's performance and the over the top music score (which includes some pulsatile sounds that make you feel adrenaline pumping in your blood). The ''living dead'' you can see in this film aren't just living corpses with no brain, this time the characters must deal with smart zombies, who can use their hands not only for tearing people's flesh, but also for picking up objects and using them as weapons.
The makeup team did the best work I've seen in a film (you can just see the picture below), the cameramen's work is also appreciable and the places chosen for the film are terrific! North England can show us beautiful clouds and fields, always with a great horror atmosphere!
In conclusion, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is one of the best horror movies made in the last century, I think everybody should have this masterpiece in his collection. The film is made for everyone, starting from cult cinema lovers and ending for an average person as me.
If you are a foreign student and want to learn clean English pronunciation, but you also want to watch an old, classic, horror film, this is your way! This is not a typical sugary horror film, it is a real cult treasure that proves one more time that people knew how to make good films in the seventies and eighties! Enjoy it!
