Summary: frightening
Review: I can only say that this is a frightening movie... And it's so real...! George an Edna are thrown into bizarre situations when they accidentally met at a gas station and later she is attacked by a beggar WHO HAD DIED A WEEK AGO... Pay attention to the cript-scene...

Summary: Bad bad bad! movie
Review: I don't get it. I read the reviews and order the movie if it sounds interesting. This one sounded like a new/old classic (old movie, new to me) and I ordered it eagerly based on the reviews.People, this movie was awful. Even the gore wasn't good. The violence wasn't real. I felt like the entire movie was a prelude showing pre-credits except that it last 1.5 hours. Not good. Don't waste your money or time. Last, to Anchor Bay, quit buying bad horror movies and issuing them in tin boxes. Buy good horror movies and ship them any old way and you'll have me as a customer for life.

Summary: Anchor Bay Rocks with this Exceptional Zombie Shocker!
Review: I had the fortune of seeing it via bootleg video tape years ago and now Anchor Bay has released it in a GORGEOUS, pristine transfer - it sounds and looks just incredible! The film itself is a gem - one of the very best zombie films ever made. Eerie, atmospheric and well-acted. The zombies, though not as plentiful as in a Romero or Fulci film, are cool-they lumber around with a creepy, distinct freshness about them. The suspense builds well and the attacks become icnreasingly gruesome so if you're a gorehound there should be enough to keep you seated and if you're not... well, you can just cover your eyes for a few hair-raising scenes of gut munching. This is an excellent disc, and along with the Argento releases and Fulci's "The Beyond", stands as the top horror title of the year!

Summary: BORING!!
Review: I LOVE zombie movies, and, I don't really expect a lot from them....really, to be fair, as generally, they go more for the gore, than any real plot/acting/etc..
This one, however, was a BIG let-down.
It starst out ok, you have the typical government/scientific experiment goes awry and brings back the dead thing going on.
The acting, really isn't that bad either.
The biggest problem that I had with this one, is that it drags on entirely too long!
There is some gore, including a good hospital morgue scene...but, the movie could have been paced faster and over a good 30 minutes sooner.
Not the worst I've seen, but, DEFINATELY not the best....save your money, rent this one if you can, instead!

Summary: A hard movie to find
Review: I saw this movie in the Drive Inn Theatre back when I was 11 years old and I saw it under a different title(Don't Open The Window).I have been trying to find this movie for quite some time and actually stumbled upon it by accident.
The story line has a twist to it as to explain why the zombies are getting up and walking.The gore is there and the zombies are strong(Not weak blown down by the wind zombies).

Summary: Very Well Done
Review: I try to do a lot of research before I purchase a DVD.
I encountered this title on the web on a horror movie buff's top 10 list. I did some reading and found the general consensus is this movie is quite good. So I purchased it from Amazon.
I was not disappointed.
It was very well-done. Tight, cool, good plot, etc. I totally enjoyed it.
Some reviews say the gore is excessive, but it is not really that bad. Night of the Living Dead is a lot more grisly, in my opinion.
Definately a good film.

Summary: Agricultural anxiety? Or sub-par zombie flick?
Review: I was not familiar with this film until recently, when I viewed it under the title 'The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue', which I'll bet carries considerably more weight for our British friends across the Pond. It looked like yet another 'infamous' Italian horror film, so I settled in prepared for a freak show and a good time. I have to agree with one reviewer who noted the film is simply not worthy of the hype, not at all. There are some things going for it, namely some of the atmosphere, the English setting and location shooting and a little bit of zombie action. I want to say there's something more to the whole story--that fancy new insecticide technology is inadvertently causing the dead to get up and walk about the English countryside--but I don't think it's there. Perhaps a comment on the farming industry in the UK? Methinks I'm thinking too much. However, the film does a great job of nearly talking itself to death for a good forty minutes or so. And when we do get some zombie action, it's nothing great. Some very sick looking people with sub-par makeup waddle around before chewing on what look like sweet-meats from the local butcher, 'grossing' us out. Our protagonist, a 'strong, silent type' in a leather jacket with a commanding attitude (the early scenes in the gas station are plain funny in a badly dubbed (or seems-like-dubbed) clumsiness. The director gives us an amusing introduction, hoping we don't have a good time watching the film, presumably because it's supposed to disturb us but actually does much worse: bores us. However, how can I fault Anchor Bay? They've done an excellent job cleaning up a 'cult' movie (don't even know how cult this is) that was unavailable for a long, long time. They always do a very reverent job on these movies, and it's admirable. Perhaps some big studios could learn a thing or two. Recommended if you have to inspect every zombie flick out there (particularly Italian). But there are far better, namely the original Romero film this is obviously inspired by, as well as Romero's sequels and even Fulci's demented foray into the sub-genre. Americans may get a chuckle out of classic Britishisms like 'And don't bugger me about!' (Character to gas jockey).

Summary: Creepy '70s cult classic
Review: I'm pretty much in agreement with most of the reviews posted here, so I'd just like to add a comment or two of my own. First, to those who've wanted to own this movie for years, this Anchor Bay release is definitely the one to buy. Not only is this the original, uncut version of "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" but it has also been digitally remastered so the picture and sound are GREAT (on both VHS and DVD). You won't be getting a faded, cheap looking film to video transfer -- trust me on this. In case you're wondering, the VHS version is in 1.85 to 1 widescreen ratio and includes all the same extras (director interview, original trailer, etc.) as the DVD version. The only difference, of course, is that with DVD you can access these extras instantly. With the VHS version, you have to fast forward to the end of the movie before you can sample the extras. That being said, let me make caution all those zombie movie fans out there who've never heard of this film before but are intrigued by the other reviews. No doubt scores of you are salivating right now at the prospect of a zombie movie that's almost good as "Dawn of the Dead" (as some have suggested). Please note the following: this is NOT a wall-to-wall zombie/action flick like "Dawn of the Dead" or or even the parody "Return of the Living Dead". In fact, (SPOILER ALERT) I counted maybe only seven or eight zombies in the *whole* movie, and there are never more than three zombies on screen at one time! You *won't* find scenes depicting hundreds (or even dozens) of zombies taking over a city, surrounding a shopping mall, or even invading a farm house. This is a more subtle horror film that's far more interested in evoking a spooky atmosphere and creating a sense of dread than piling on the body count. (If you saw the 70s vampire film "Let's Scare Jessica to Death", then maybe you have an idea what I'm talking about.) Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" isn't a good horror film. It is. I just don't want anyone who's never seen this movie to buy this thinking they're getting "Dawn of the Dead Part II". You're not. If survival horror action and gore is what you're looking for, you're better off waiting for the "Resident Evil" movie.

Summary: Great Zombie Film
Review: If you've watched your Romero and Fulci Zombie films to death and you're wanting something just as good, but different, check this little nasty out. A Spanish film inspired by Night of the Living Dead that came out before Dawn of the Dead started the carnivorous Zombie craze. This is one of the few genuinely creepy Zombie films. Night of the Living Dead and Zombie were the only other two that I found creepy. Dawn and Day of the dead were superior films, but I would never say they were creepy. The story is ambiguous in a true European way, and the cinematography is gorgeous and nightmarish at the same time. Also the Zombies are truly chilling. The gore sequences are well done and the acting is top notch.

Summary: Cool zombie flick!
Review: Intelligent story line. The lead male and most of the others aren't terrible actors. Make up is good. Nice surround sound. I like it very much!!!
