LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE
Rating: R18+
Price: $14.99
One of the earliest European films paying homage to George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, this is also one of the best zombie films ever made. An Spanish-Italian co-production, it was shot in England by a Spanish director with a largely British cast, and supplemented American character actor Arthur Kennedy as a bitter Irish police detective (with only a hint of a brogue). He’s investigating a sudden rash of violent murders (the work of Satanists, he's convinced) and closes in on a pair of newcomers to the sleepy Northern England town, longhaired antique dealer Ray Lovelock and his nervous travelling companion Christine Galbó. Only they know the real culprits: newly deceased corpses, revived by agricultural experiments in ultrasonic radiation that are also turning newborns into vicious little monsters.
