    Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue:

    Anyone see it?

    I read about it again in this 'Splatter Movies vol.2' book I have and I believe it was made in 1972-1974 or something and it is suppose to be similar to NOTLD but set in a morgue/hospital or maybe mortuary?

    I have a book somewhere that shows some pics of a man with a cloth around his nether region, a bandage wrapped around his head and an autopsy scar on his chest. I believe it had some guy trying to hack him with an axe. Is this the same movie?

    Thumbs up Let Sleeping Corpses Lie...

    It's okay. But there's only a couple of zombies on screen at any given time.

    Breakfast?

    "Living Dead At Manchester Morgue" you mean, hehe.

    Aye, I have the DVD, it's a pretty good film actually, especially for a relatively early 'post Night' zombie flick - I really enjoyed it. Not a ton of zombies, but a number, it's well made and has that Euro-zombie charm to it, I say check it out.

    It's not a bad film, definatley one of the better non Romero ones. The zombies look quite good and the gore is pretty for decent for the time it came out as well.

    Yes, "Breakfast" was the title listed in this book I have, honestly! Weird, I know, but that is what is listed.

    Look here at the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071431/

    Scroll down to the ALSO KNOWN AS section and it is the very first one.

    Now that is weird, I knew it had a whole bunch of names (like "Don't Open The Window"...which has got what to do with the flick? lol), but never "Breakfast".

    The film with a dozen names!

    Also know as:

    Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue
    Don't Open the Window
    Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
    Sleeping Corpses Lie
    The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

    Most of which make some sort of sense other than "Don't Open the Window".

    It's quite an enjoyable zombie movie, there are only a small amount of zombies but it's set in rural England in the 70's so it's not like they've got a dozen guns just hanging about.

    Plus, the lead actor looks like me dad in the 70s.

    Trying to cash in on the "Don't Do This-or-That" phase of the era

    As for the multiple titles, seems like a lot of the european zombie flicks had this same problem as they went through different countrys & distributers, no doubt in part to try & trick folks into seeing the same movies thinking they were something different

    I have a bootleg of this called Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. I bought it a few years before Anchor Bay released their version of it. It's not a bad zombie flick at all!

    Very very good...

    I always feel compelled to chime in on the subject of this film. It's an overlooked classic. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and with a few high-impact gore scenes (courtesy of Gianetto de Rossi) including a great chest-ripping/eye-gouging feeding scene. My opinion: Gratuitous gore, in moderation and in the context of a well-produced film like this one always carries more impact than when gore is over-used (or used merely for it's own sake) in a poorly produced film.

    More good points: A very listenable jazz-funk score by Italian maestro Guiliano Sorginini; a bit of random female nudity and kinky sexual sub-plot, new-born babies that bite, great location photography (English countryside) and the general anti-authority/pro-environment themes that were so pervasive in 70's exploitation films. Much of the film crew was Italian, though director Jorge Grau is Spanish, by the way.

    Try to get the Anchor Bay release, as many of the previous releases are cut.
