This? Not bad little zombie flick goin on here from across the pond. I’m giving it one of the better-known english titles, it’s apparently been released as like 15 different ones. Pretty solid camera work through-out, some decent-ish old-school gore from time to time. It can be a bit muted, like the overall colors of the film, but I think that’s just the crappy film stock they had back then. Those Brits. They don’t like things too spicy.
Hip antiques guy doin his best to look cool but not too cool shuts down his shop in the city of Manchester (England, for those unawares), closed for vacay, out to the countryside for a little R&R away from the noise and pollution for a bit. Trouble is, some daffy lady hits his motorcycle at the petrol station, thus sealing their fates together. She really is a horrible driver. While asking for directions, George encounters some oddities at a remote farm, some new-spangled technologies that help get rid of the bugs, apparently. Seems to have some side-effects, though, unbeknownst to most. A hippie-hatin Sonovabitch of an Inspector gets involved after a murder takes place at the bad-driver-lady’s final destination. Shit then proceeds to go sideways in the countryside. Creepy hillside church graveyard. Creepy hospital/morgue/insane asylum/baby hospital. Nice local shoppe though. Very convenient and accommodating. The undead? They assho.
This has a sorta hippie environmentalism thing wrapped in zombie trappings, but it ain’t bad. Zombies just don’t come from nowhere, you know. Unless there’s like a rip in the space-time continuum and they spill over from a different dimension. But I guess then that’s where they’d come from then. This movie has none of that kind chicanery. New technology vs the old, it’s all out to kill us somehow. Just watch out for the ones that may create zombie-hulks capable of hurling tombstones. And I’m not talkin the pizzas, either! Definitely a strong Night of the Living Dead influence, just British with an Italian vibe, in color, and some cool audio. Shout-out on the Decent recommendation from Rea's Creature Features!, check the link down below for his channel that has a lot of other oft-neglected horror/deranged/sci-fi flicks of the past. Some real good’ens in there.
