The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)

★★★☆☆

Edna is trying to get to her sister’s house to put her in a rehab center and George is a motorist who unwillingly tags alone after Edna destroyed his motorcycle. Unfortunately, after witnessing a zombie kill Edna’s sister’s husband, the police blame all three of them on the murder. Unbeknownst to everybody, the culprit behind the murder was a zombie that rose from the grave after an experimental sound device re-animated his brain. And there are plenty more zombies right behind him. Though this movie is cheesy and occasionally long and drawn out, it was enjoyable. The zombie effects were great but the entire film seemed more like a crime thriller than a zombie movie, perhaps that’s because nothing spectacular happens till the end.
