Customer Reviews of Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Best Horror DVD of the Year Anchor Bay delivers the best and most anticipated horror DVD of the year. Never released on home video in the US (except in an atrocious edited low-budget EP VHS version called "The Living Dead"), Grau's super-fun 1974 zombie flick finally receives the definitive presentation it has aways deserved! Originally released theatrically in the States in an edited version called "Don't Open the Window", this DVD is the original UNCUT version and instantly makes the old (and once Very Valuable) Japanese laserdisc completely obsolete since that version pixelated the brief nudity. Anchor Bay's DVD is absolutely exceptional.
If you're a zombie film fan or european horror buff, you probably already love this film. If you've never seen it, just go ahead and buy it --- you will NOT be disappointed! It's kind of a rip-off of NOTLD, but it has it's own unique twists, it's in glorious color and delivers some very shocking gore moments. Plus, the zombies are quite unique -- my favorite is the post-autopsy one who's got his chest stitched closed all the way down his torso. All in all, a very entertaining zombie film...not as ridiculous as the later Fulci films, but also not as grim as Romero's seminal classic. The film is presented here in a practically flawless print at 1.85:1.
Also on the DVD are a short (and amusing) introduction by Grau (who hopes we have a "bad time" watching the film) plus a separate 20-minute interview with him. He goes into detail about how the film came to be, how he picked the cast, and what he thinks of horror film audiences. He comes off as a very cool, intelligent and nice guy. Too bad he left the business after only a few films. Besides that, the DVD features one TV spot (for "Window") which isn't very thrilling, some "Window" radio spots (much better!), plus a photo and poster gallery of the different artwork and posters from the various release versions of the film around the world. Very cool! Buy it Now!!!
Highly Entertaining Camp...
Let me preface this by saying that any fan of the Italien zombie/cannibal genre needs to have a tolerance for bad acting, poor dialogue, and nonsensical plotlines. Nobody watches movies like ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, or LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE expecting a well-crafted film; what we want is atmosphere, gore, and maybe some unintentional humor. On those grounds, "spaghetti horror" usually delivers...
That said, LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE is a silly, frequently creepy and entirely entertaining representative of the genre. The movie has two faces: On the one hand, it's a fairly effective zombie horror film in the same vein as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, relying more on atmospherics (panning views of the gorgeous English countryside, the raspy breathing of unseen zombies, etc.) than out-and-out zombie gore, although there are a few pretty harsh cannibalism scenes, most notably when a hospital receptionist's breast is ripped off. Although the zombies in this case are of scientific origin, there's an eerie supernatural element to them, particularly in a gothic zombie attack scene. Our "heros" hole up in a room above the crypt, as three hungry zombies try to smash through the door with an uprooted tombstone... creepy!
On the other hand, LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE is also campy, unintentionally funny B-grade trash, ripe for the MST3K treatment. Convinced they are satanists responsible for the grissly murders, the most hardboiled rural cop you've ever seen--something of a Scottish Columbo--follows our protagonists (George and Edna) around the countryside, spouting off all sorts of REEFER MADNESS-caliber copspeak along the way. My personal favorite, to the leather-jacketted, hippy George..."I know you're type, with your long hair and faggot clothes, into drugs, sex and all sorts of filth!" HAH! Needless to say, Sgt. Kickass is good for a few other outbirsts and some unexpected humor in an otherwise dark movie...
Added perks include the stunningly beautiful setting--many gorgeous and haunting shots of the English hills and countryside, supposedly teeming with blood-hungry zombies--and a real headscratching scene not even five minutes into the movie, when a woman throws off her overcoat and runs buck-naked, breasts bouncing, across a city street... the scene is never explained or re-visited, which makes it that much funnier, in my opinion!
Goofy, cheesy, campy fun. If you can't watch a movie this ridiculous without cracking a smile, you must be a zombie.
Creepy Zombie Movie.
First Of All I would like to say to those who compare this movie to Luci Fulci ,and George Romero. I respect some of your opinions but you cannot compare one movie to this director ,and one to the other because these directors all have there individual talent! This movies is not even inspired by night of the living dead. In My opinion it is more artistic, Creative, and completely diffrent than most zombie movies. I truly recommend this movie It Really creeped me out, The musie was Creepy and the zombies were very strange. Enjoy The Individual Talent Of This Director I Highly Recommend This Movie.
