The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

They tampered with nature—now they must pay the price …

197495 min6.4 / 10

A grim 1970s zombie horror film that weaponizes environmental anxiety and bureaucratic negligence into a plague of the undead, with paranoia and mistrust driving the narrative as much as the monsters themselves.

When a series of murders hit the remote English countryside, a detective suspects a pair of travelers when it is actually the work of the undead, jarred back to life by an experimental ultra-sonic radiation machine used by the Ministry of Agriculture to kill insects.
