Inbetween George Romero’s two zombie masterpieces, you had this gory thrill.

“THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE” (No profanar el sueño de los muertos)
1974
Horror
Spain

Director: Jorge Grau
Stars: Ray Lovelock, Christine Galbo, Arthur Kennedy
Distributor: Blue Underground
Runtime: 93 mins
BLU RAY REGION ALL

“They transmit life to each other through the blood of the living.”

Two travelling companions comes across a village where a new agricultural device has turned the dead into zombies.

This is stated as “one of the best zombie films ever made”, and yes, I have to agree. I’ve wanted to check out this flick for a couple of years now, and finally got to it. A simple story with a couple of plotholes doesn’t spoil the experience. This is a zombie-splatter from a time they didn’t do those kind of movies, and I’ll have to say it’s up there with “Dawn of the Dead” and “Zombie Flesheaters”. A bloody fun time, in a bloody fun English, done by a bloody fun Spanish director with an amazing and bloody fun cast. Highly recommended!
