With its revolutionary mix of shocking-for-its-time violence and sociopolitical themes, George A. Romero’s 1968 classicNight of the Living Deadquickly proved to be enormously influential with filmmakers around the world, and few were able to match its power like Jorge Grau’sThe Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. Mixing a strong environmental statement with unforgettably terrifying set pieces, Grau’s film stands on its own as a horror classic, and now it’s been restored to its horrifying glory by Synapse Films in an exclusive new Steelbook release.
A strange twist of fate brings two young travelers, George (Ray Lovelock,The Cassandra Crossing) and Edna (Christine Galbo,The House That Screamed), to a small town where an experimental agricultural machine may be bringing the dead back to life! Aszombies infest the area and attack the living, a bull-headed detective (Academy Award nominee Arthur Kennedy,Peyton Place) thinks the couple are Satanists responsible for the local killings. George and Edna have to fight for their lives, and prove their innocence, as they try and stop the impending zombie apocalypse!
