the living dead at manchester morgue (1974)

aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Don't Open The Window, Breakfast At The Manchester Morgue, The Living Dead, Breakfast With The Dead, Zombi 3...[the list goes on]
The film takes us from a festering 1970's Manchester into the clean, green Lake District, where director Jorge Grau creates an eco-disaster zombie film. A place where the police are bullheaded and intrangigent, and the authorities experiment with our food crops. Eco-disaster awaits and the police would rather blame satanists. A realism winds its way throughout the plot, which is topped off with a suitably nihilistic ending. Well worth tracking down.
