The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (Grau, 1974): Prince Charles Cinema, 4pm
This film is also being shown on October 6th. Full details here.
Time Out review:
'Although made in the Lake District with a mainly dubbed cast, Arthur Kennedy
as a very American English policeman, and a plot indebted to Night of
the Living Dead, this works against all the odds. Through intelligent
handling of locations, England becomes a very bleak place indeed, full
of sinister quietness. Hero and heroine, thrown together by chance,
find themselves pursued by both police and an army of cannibalistic
living dead through this increasingly nightmarish landscape. It's a
film of unrelieved blackness, from the seedy photographer who snaps his
junkie wife cowering in the bath to homicidal babies, from mongol
child at a petrol station to Kennedy's brutal sergeant. It's all the
more absurdly fatalistic for refusing to draw political, moral or
social conclusions.'
