[Inspector Abberline]

At the start of Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue you get a fairly depressing look at Britain in the 1970s,pollution,rubbish,men with bad facial hair and nudists streaking along the high street, for this is just another day in the life of George (Ray Lovelock),as he heads up to Windermere on his motorbike...Actually he leaves Manchester ,but for some reason the local farmer assumes he is from London, ether its the leather jacket or the stupid bloody hipster facial hair, marks him out as some sort of trouble maker. To be fair George is a miserable bleeder and manages to argue and rub pretty much everybody up the wrong way. Famously filmed at the Stepping Stones across the River Dove at Dovedale, the English countryside has never looked so grim yet extremely beautiful at the same time. The film, has a extremely eclectic mix of oddball characters, it's one of those films where no one seems normal, from the cranky policeman played by Arthur Kennedy to the land lady at the hotel to the creepy doctor at Southgate Hospital...Its eco message is about as subtle as a kick in the nuts, but it still makes for a interesting premise for a zombie movie and certainly still stands head and shoulders above all the recent glut of zombie films.
