Let Sleeping Corpses Lie aka The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

[Titanosaurus]

I just blind-bought this from a local pawn shop the other day for $8 (what a steal, huh?!). I haven't watched it cuz I have my doubts. Does anyone know if it's any good, like a classic as people have been saying?

Also, could y'all reccomend some other decent Italian or Spanish zombie epics that are entertaining? I've had my sights set on Umberto Lenzi's "Nightmare City"...

[steelba]

Manchester Morgue was woefully bad.

Nightmare City is a good flick, Fulci's Zombie is a classic, and I enjoyed the cheesy Hell of the Living Dead.

[Titanosaurus]

Oh great, so I wasted my $8 to those idiots, huh?

[FrighT MasteR]

It's okay, not very good. I'd recommend not blind-buying anything next time :ahheh:

Sounds about right. :die:

[steelba]

yeah $8 is way to much for that flick, might be worth 69cents though :starefreak:

[koolmike]

You could have done worse.

[KING]

Well I loved the movie.. watched it twice over the years.. I bought it for $0.99 on ebay :thumbup3:

[Godfatha]

I'd say give Tombs of the Blind Dead a shot. Definitely a different take on zombies.
Also man, if you're going to pay money for it, you might as well get your .99-8 dollars worth watching it. it could be a mission for the board. Watch it and critique the hell out of it if you think its shit.

thats the right price for it..

[Galerian]

I thought it was a pretty decent zombie flick. Worth checking out.

I Think I'll do that.

[Kakihara]

I didnt think the film was too bad, seemed to take a while to get started from what i can remember though.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

Not a bad movie. It's a bit draggy though.

[C.H.U.D.]

Decent flick...but the band Impetigo does a killer song about it!

[levil666]

Sounds like I need to see this one. As for a reccomendation, a good Italian zombie flick is Cemetery Man, starring Rupert Everett. One of my favorites. Packed with some good gore.

I've seen Cemetary Man. I was RIDICULOUS, but in a good way!

[LadyFrankenstein]

I really liked it. It was slow at times, but it didn't bother me.

[C.H.U.D.]

I've seen Cemetary Man. I was RIDICULOUS, but in a good way!

...directed by Michele Soavi (spelling?) if I can remember correctly. He also directed the cool Italian slasher, Stage Fright.

[Romero/Carpenter Fan]

The gore and beautifully directed scenery are the best parts of this movie. The attacks in the cemetery and at the hospital are pretty good. Especially the axe to the zombies head. Not a bad movie...and a good 1974 horror installment.

[Necromancer]

As Steelba has said it's pretty damn bad....I just watched it about a week or so ago myself

[woodenheart]

I've had my eye on this one..I may give it a shot.

[Romero/Carpenter Fan]

I've had my eye on this one..I may give it a shot.

Yes..give it a try. It has some great moments to it..dispite a wierd story of how the dead are rising.

[steelba]

Yes..give it a try. It has some great moments to it..
No it doesn't.

[Titanosaurus]

Watched it a few hours ago. Cool gore scenes, but it was fucking weird and also pretty stupid. Dunno why this is considered one of the better European zombie flicks.

[Darkgod]

I went onto imdb and checked, gave it a 5/10. as I remember its nothing way too shitty, or way to great. Its a movie you watch once, and thats it.

[Romero/Carpenter Fan]

One gross part was when the zombies tear that nurse's boob out. Yuck!!

[LadyFrankenstein]

Manchester Morgue was woefully bad.

Nightmare City is a good flick, Fulci's Zombie is a classic, and I enjoyed the cheesy Hell of the Living Dead.

You mean the Hell of The Living Dead with the National Geographic footage spliced into the film? Surely you can't mean that one...

[steelba]

um well... that's the one *ducks*

[LadyFrankenstein]

That's almost the worst movie evar....you don't mean to tell me you think Manchester Morgue is worse than that do you?
I may have to watch it again if you say yes...

[steelba]

Well Hell of the Living Dead is a really bad film, I enjoyed it's corny gore, piss poor acting, and blatant ripoffs. It truly is a terrible film but I was just flat bored with Manchester Morgue.

You should probably avoid re-watching it because it's bad, real bad :D

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

:2far:

[LadyFrankenstein]

I don't remember it being that boring but I'll take your word for it :D
Hell of The Living Dead on the other hand is dross and I found it offensive to my eyes. You should be ashamed... :naughty:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

No way, that movie ruled :confident:

[LadyFrankenstein]

:faint:

I am :(

[LadyFrankenstein]

Speaking of lame zombie movies, what do you think of City of the Living Dead?

[steelba]

eeehhh.. I like it to an extent..
The music is good, the atmosphere is excellent, but the movie is very uneven. There is so little zombie action that it is barely a zombie flick, I tend to think of it more as a weird supernatural film. Granted most of Fulci's films are weird, 'City' is more so than the bulk.

You gotta love the gore and maggots though...

[Darkgod]

Gore and Maggots.... are pretty good.

[strtfghtr]

City of the living dead is incoherent and disambiguous. It has some great kills but makes no sense and doesnt have the style of The Beyond which makes up for a lack of story with some great visualizations. I found it boring and not one of Fulci's best.

Hell of the Living dead was completely awful, second only to Zombie Lake for worst zombie movie I've ever seen.

[steelba]

You obviously haven't seen Todd Sheet's 'Zombie:Bloodbath 2'

[strtfghtr]

not yet but i do own the trilogy

[steelba]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Prepare for horrendous pain :lol2:

[strtfghtr]

damn my little brother...he got it for us :shakefist:

[steelba]

Zombie Bloodbath 2 is the worst film i've EVER seen :straightface:

Your lil bro :rockin:

[LadyFrankenstein]

Maggots, falling like rain....lol couldn't resist!

I really miss Christopher George. You always knew you were in for a treat when you see him in a movie, double that if his wife Lynda was cast too.
I would hardly call it a boring movie, unlike some people who can't appreciate the gore and maggots because of a "lack of story". :madtongue

[LadyFrankenstein]

Damn....I think that trilogy was my Christmas present. Sucks to be me!

[steelba]

:lol: :lol:

[LadyFrankenstein]

:cussing:

[steelba]

maybe you'll like them :D

[strtfghtr]

i bet she will...there's probably no story and lots of gore and maggots

[steelba]

hahahaha :lol2:


They are homemade movies shot on vhs with a $300 budget, sounds good huh :starefreak:

[LadyFrankenstein]

You know, all of a sudden Hell of The Living Dead doesn't sound so bad... :D

[steelba]

lol, it's way better than ZB2 :mhehe:

[Disposal of a Corpse]

Dude this is one of the best horror flicks of all time! It warms up nice and slowly and then the cemetery scene is badass! Seriously, what is not to like about this film? It is 1,000 better than Hostel or any Saw film.

[Get Some]

it's a good movie but you can't compare it to hostel or saw in the sense that they are different sub genres of horror

[FrighT MasteR]

Agreed, completely different films in all aspects.

[Disposal of a Corpse]

Point taken. I just get annoyed by the young guys today who only like modern horror. I think it is ok to like the modern stuff as long as they respect the classic gems. But you are right, I shouldn't generalize...

[koolmike]

Absolutely. Having said that I find myself interested in your film.

[Disposal of a Corpse]

I did my best without any money or formal training. I ordered some sound effects on CD, bought some video editing software, fake blood, etc. I posted flyers at the drama college nearby and all actors worked for free. It has its flaws but that's ok, that's how you learn. Thanks for the support!

I'm an Ozzy Sabbath fan first, but it still sucks about Dio. he had a great metal voice. I watched the silly Holy Diver video on Youtube in his honor a few days ago...

[koolmike]

I hear ya.

Piece of advice - no need to defend your film...until it has been seen and God forbid :D... slammed.

Love the old Sabbath with a passion.

Dio added a new dimension to an already esatablished force in music when he replaced Ozzy.

[perhan]

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is IMO one of the best Z movies of all time.

I need to rewatch without being stoned to be 100% sure.

[BigFatOgre]

Isn't Tombs of the Blind Dead part 1 of a trilogy? I've seen Tombs but not the others.
Zombie Holocaust is not a good one. Has some good gore here and there, but pretty crappy, 'specially wit dem 'zombies' not actually being zombies...

[Darkgod]

4 films http://turntabling.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/The-Blind-Dead-Collection-Coffin-Box-Set.jpg

[steelba]

waste.

GR8 FLICK

[Count-Magnus-Lee]

Awesome movie, loved it since i was 17 back in 1999 getting it on VHS then getting the DVD later. I now own it on Blu-Ray in it's awesome special edition.

One of my favorite zombie movies and an underrated gem.

[absurd.anthro]

Classic Zombie Movie - Some great scenes, a often overlooked classic -

[woodenheart]

Just saw this film for the first time about a month ago....wtf, why did I wait so long. Beautiful film. The zombies are creepy as fuck.....and it's english !! :dream:

[steelba]

This movie is a bad, real bad.

[Splat]

I liked this film, probably watch again in the next couple of days.

[woodenheart]

This movie is a bad, real bad.


May I ask why you disliked it.

[steelba]

I just found it to be very dull, wasn't my style.

[Dagon01]

I love everything about this movie, even the music score is breathtaking.
however I still have to get this movie on dvd (only have it on VHS)

[chrsnck]

I havent seen this movie in forever! I bought this on VHS ten years ago on a B-zombie movie binge and ended up liking it. Other movies I bought at the time - The Beyond, Zombi 2, Zombi 3, Zombi4 After Death, Zombi 5 Killing Birds, and City of the Living Dead.

[Splat]

On my last maniacal shopping spree I could have bought Zombi 5 Killing Birds but heard that it was a lot of shit. Is this true?
