TO AVOID FAINTING KEEP REPEATING IT'S ONLY A MOVIE.... ONLY A MOVIE.... ONLY A MOVIE..... ONLY A MOVIE! In a small town in the north of England an experimental pest control device is being used with horrific consequences. Edna Cristina Galbo and George Ray Lovelock are unlikey travelling companions they met en route when she backed her car into his motorbike and subsequently offered him a lift to his destination. Stopping over near Manchester Galbo is attacked by a man that the locals say has been dead for days. Edna's sister Katie Jeannine Mestre is a prostitute addicted to heroin and when her husband is brutally murdered Katie is the chief suspect according to bitter local inspector Arthur Kennedy. But Edna and George soon realise that inhabitants are being murdered as meals for the re animated corpses of the morgue the new pesticides used in the area are bringing the dead back to life and for sustenance they need human flesh. The Living Dead is widely recognised by horror fans as one of the best zombie movies ever made and the unlikely setting of pretty English countryside makes the flesh tearing bone crunching zombies all the more shocking.
