want one? they're perfect for the long voyage home.

solid! i only knew about this because professor tim bell played the credits sequence during our genre lecture for watching film freshman year, and i was very intrigued. most accurate aspect of this is how FAST that mini cooper drives. the concept of accidentally breaking someone's motorcycle so you allow them to drive your car to your house is so alien to me it may as well be in an entirely different language

This is the exact kind of film that I enjoy: the cheesy B-horror films from the 70s/80s. The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is, for someone who is often not fond of zombie films, incredibly enjoyable and perfectly gory. It's such an odd concept for the start of a zombie apocalypse which is what makes it so fun (same reason I love Return of the Living Dead). The setting of the British countryside is the perfect slow-burn with the dramatically ironic murder mystery to await the mega climax at the hospital. I often feel something is lacking from films of this genre but I can never pinpoint the problem; Manchester Morgue does not apply. Recommended.> "Heil Hitler!"

Honestly enjoyed this way more than I expected. The zombies look rough (in a good way) and the film knows how to use its rural setting without making it feel forced. I found myself unexpectedly invested in the characters, especially the moment everything starts going downhill. The last stretch hits harder than I thought it would and wraps everything up in a way that actually feels satisfying. Definitely glad I gave it a chance.
