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!!!

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie- A Very Good Zombie FIlm
This gem of a horror film had may titles during it's release (DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW, THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE, among others). Jorge Grau created a zombie fim=lm in what could be seen as a NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD rip-off, but it has some memorable & equally horrific moments that the Romero film never had. While NOTLD was filmed in black & white, this film was made in color. The Romero film wasn't as graphic as LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE was. And the Grau film offers an explanation as to why the living dead was coming to life, while THE LIVING DEAD never truly explained why referring nebulously that a radio active satellite from outer space was responsible but never confirmed.

LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE was unique in a lot of ways. There were some unexplained sequences in the movie (the nude woman running across the street was one, the living dead dabbing other corpses with blood to bring them back to life was naother), but all in all the bloodletting, the violence, the gory scenes were amazingly filmed. The sound effects of the zombies were relly creepy & atmospheric. Ray Lovelock played a tragic hero as his leading lady, the very sexy Christine Galbo. Arthur Kennedy was a good antagonist to Lovelock's hero & got what he deserved in the end.

The VHS version also offers a short documentary by the director himself explaining how he made the movie. It also featured some theatrical trailers, radio spots, & various artwork regarding this film. Anchor Bay really did a great job restoring this movie including a lot of treats at the end of the film.

I strongly recommend LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE to all horror film fans.

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.
