Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

gilligan1965 I saw this when I was a child, and, I remember liking it!?!? Upon watching this again and seeing the nude woman running in the city, I thought, 'Wow...this is going to be great!' :)However...it isn't! I'm trying to figure out who's the most dangerous in this movie - the hot-chick who can't drive a car or walk across stones in a creek; the drug-freak woman who doesn't aide her husband as he's being attacked; or...the ritualistic-zombie reanimating the dead!?!?I love how that shotgun blast somewhat messed-up that female zombie's 'Englishly-swell' hairdo at 57:44!?!?Then...George; the hot-chick; and, the rookie cop figure it all out - must'a been those pest control blokes with their radiation toy!?!? The rookie-cop tells George "maybe you'll think better of the police if I can pull this off!" Almost immediately, "Serpico" the rookie-cop, gets knocked-down by a cemetery gravestone thrown at him by a zombie!?!? I suppose that George will think even less, if anything at all, about the police after that foolishness! What does that cop say to others in Heaven when asked how he died - "Some dead guy threw a big rock at me!" And, what will go on his own gravestone..."I got killed by one of these!"After the rookie-cop is dead, lead zombie looks as if he's going-down on him at 1:02:58...what-the-hell!?!?At 1:04:13, they show the rookie-cop's body with what looks like what's left of his junk!?!? Was this movie made for a gay audience?Later, the Agricultural Department guys cannot fight-off a lone-man (George)?!? Then, the lone-man wants a ride with them!?!? Ha-ha-ha-ha! :D I can't stop laughing! :DThe doctor cuts off the zombie's right tit (GAY...AGAIN); then, he gets swung at with a hatchet from the right, but, the cut to his head is on the left!?!?The hospital staff at 1:25:25, after hearing screams, is as useless as the police and don't help!?!?At 1:25:52, the gallant police show up at the hospital...no, wait...it's George in a police car!?!? How did he get that? The cops must be at Dunkin' Donuts!Now...I'm sure that this is a 'Gay-Zombie" flick! Look at that zombie-sissy coming down the stairs at 1:26:22!?!?The hot-chick ends as a cooked zombie; and, George takes the blame and dies!?!?As great as he is, I just cannot believe that Arthur Kennedy did this movie!?!? Then, again, maybe he was in a financial slump and needed some cash!?!? A lot of great actors did questionable movies at times.At 1:28:16 after shooting George, Arthur Kennedy says what the once-mob-boss of Philadelphia, Nicky Scarfo, said after a killing about...'bringing someone back to life so he could kill him again.' Or, maybe Scarfo got it from this movie!?!?I wonder if this movie was ever on "Mystery Science Theater 3000!?!?" It certainly qualifies!Although the idea of using radiation to turn insects on one-another is a good concept, and, this movie 'could-have' been great...it's not! This has to be the WORST zombie movie ever made, NOTHING HAPPENS EXCEPT...A LOT OF NOTHING...but, at the drive-in in the 1970s when we were kids...it was o.k. - because we didn't understand gay-sh*t! I've nothing against gays, I just don't want to see it...at all!I want to see scary zombies; terrifying vampires; impressive monsters; and, nude women running in the streets! :) Remember woman 'streakers' back in the 1970s? AWESOME! :)

skybrick736 Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is a film that really snuck up on me turning out to be a marvelous little zombie film. The story is very intricate with multiple characters being privy to scenes and spots and different ways. Unsuspecting to me too was the contrast in different feels and atmospheres of the film. Normally when I watch an English film I can tell its English, Italian from Spanish and so on. Let Sleeping Corpses Lie blends all these euro horror elements together to create an amazing unique setting and mood. The mood was doomful to boot, the zombies were unsettling and the base music was chilling. I loved the two main leads, George and Edna, they were spectacular and had great character development. The flow at times was halted with choppy edits and a couple unnecessary scenes but otherwise there is nothing major to hate. If you're a fan of Night of the Living Dead, which I can tell Jorge Grau is, you'll end up really enjoying this movie. I give it a solid 8/10 rating.

poe426 LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE is one of the earliest of the Romero-inspired zombie movies, and it's one of the better ones, at that; it's exceptionally well crafted, and the cinematography is close to Art House quality. the only complaint (and it's a minor one, to be sure) is that it gets off to a rather slow start- but, unlike all too many of these movies, it at least attempts to explain the phenomena (granted, the "explanation" may be a bit far-fetched, but we ARE talking about a zombie movie, after all). The scenes of violence are sometimes as graphic as anything you'll find in a Lucio Fulci movie, but what I found interesting was that the number of the living dead are kept to a minimum during the attacks; this makes the attacks seem much more INTIMATE than what we're used to- something most such movies fail to take into account (the filmmakers tend to overdo the attacks, with hordes of zombies trailing after the victims). Another big plus is the music: it's appropriately spooky.

Mr_Ectoplasma "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" haphazardly follows George and Edna, two strangers who are united on a trip to a small English village. Little do they know, they are about to become implicated in a series of apparent murders that are a result of zombies who are being revived through an experimental pesticide operation being used on local farms.The film opens with a montage of pollution, dead animals, and industrial wasteland from Northern England, which sets in place the film's overarching ecological subtext, but "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" is a through-and-through zombie flick that makes no bones about it. The film is interesting in the sense that it rests on eerie imagery and soundtrack to make for horrific zombie encounters, while divvying in a good deal of zombie gore that is appalling but not overtly gratuitous. The narrative is a bit wonky in terms of trajectory and character relations, but it has a weird '70s charm to it that allows me to forgo criticizing it.What makes the film stand out among all else, however, is the somber landscapes and the wide shots in which they are photographed, which accentuate the isolation and atmospheric disconsolation of Northern England. The photography of the village and surrounding land is what really makes this film stand out— it's beautiful but haunting, and is an entirely unique (and strangely appropriate) setting for zombies to roam. Key scene: the first zombie encounter at the river with Edna. Absolutely terrifying, and perhaps one of my favorite scenes in any horror film ever— that's saying something too, especially since I am not one who typically enjoys zombie films. 9/10.
