I have previously guested on this fine podcast in an episode in which the host and I discussed the Polizziotechi film, Live
Like a Cop, Die Like a Man. Today we dive into the excellent Spanish horror film The Living Dead at Manchester
Morgue, also known as Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Don’t Open the Window and a
slew of other titles! Italian heartthrob Ray Lovelock stars as George, an
antiques dealer who ends up accidentally traveling with a girl named Edna
to her sister’s country house. The two
get lost and end up embroiled in a terrifying scenario of the dead coming back
to life, presumably because of a machine designed to kill insects! This
classic, hidden gem is starting to become more well known, and owes a lot to
George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead! It's a surprisingly smart take on the zombie film and shows how the genre would shift and grow in the wake of Romero's influential classic. Check it out at the links below.
