In the U.S. it's called Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. Good film. Not one of the best but it did have some nail-biting sequences.

I love this film.

It's not particularly fast moving, but I feel that the zombie scenes are great enough that they're worth the wait in between. And if you like a decent story, beautiful cinematography, and a lot of atmosphere, you may like it as much as I do. The dvd has a wonderful interview with director Jorge Grau (sp?) too.

I agree with EDB on this one...I'll even go so far to say that this is in my personal top ten zombie flicks.

Definitely in my top 10 if not just for the amazing scenery in a zombie film. The cause for the zombies is an interesting idea but isn't executed all that well in the film in terms of apperance, a little hokey looking. That doesn't detract anything from the incredible cinematography of zombies roaming the British countryside and the great special effects make-up of Gianetto De Rossi. I'd suggest getting Anchor Bay's Fright pack which includes the film http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=ABD013855

Wicked thanks guys it sounds great. Going to pick it up this week (thanks for the link Francesco Dellamorte). Been watching Undead, Bio Zombie and zombie honeymoon this week. Really loved Undead and Bio zombie was a good laugh but i found Zombie honeymoon hard to get into, not sure why.
Also caught a good Irish flick called DeadMeat, worth checking out, good effott!

The first time I saw it I thought it was a little boring. But after a few veiwings I've grown to love it. Great atmosphere, creepy zombies and some great gore.

Noise wakes zombies up. I love that for some strange reason. Anyway, the films a little slow to start but ends up havign some great zombie action in the end.

Hmm I saw this movie on IMDb a long time ago, been wondering about it off and on since then, looks pretty good.

The poster art looks like that of Return Of The Living Dead, no?

Personally, I thought it was grim... :scare:

Like a bad Carry-On film, without Kenneth Williams or Barbara Windsor.... :cry:

I tried looking for the dvd at a few places, even by its US release name,I dont like getting stuff over the internet, I need it now. If I do find it is it worth buying it or is it to runty to buy. Runty translated into Southern California lingo, like smoking cheap butt weed, gives you a head ache, not worth buying.:loon:
