Release date: June 7 "“This is one of my favourite zombie films of them all; a genuinely chilling UK set horror...†– Edgar Wright, director of Baby Driver and Shaun of the Dead "[A] still-startling nightmare creation that was years ahead of its time." - Mitch Davis, Fantasia International Film Festival "The transfer itself is quite the eye opener compared to the earlier Blu-rays and other transfers, with a gargantuan increase in detail throughout... As far as upgrades go, this is one of the most extreme in recent memory." - Mondo Digital With its revolutionary mix of shocking-for-its-time violence and sociopolitical themes, George A. Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead quickly proved to be enormously influential with filmmakers around the world, and few were able to match its power like Jorge Grau's THE 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 on Blu-ray by Synapse Films! 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! As zombies 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! THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie and Don’t Open the Window) is a gory horror tale from Spanish director Jorge Grau and widely considered to be one of the best zombie films ever made. Beautifully restored in 4K from the original camera negative, Synapse Films presents the film with the true original English theatrical mono mix and the real opening and closing credit sequences intact" Special features and specs:

Pre order phenomena If it's already been mentioned I do aplologiseand can delete it you want, I've done back 2 pages and haven't seen it. From Italian master of the macabre Dario Argento (Suspiria, Tenebrae), comes Phenomena – one of his most beautifully designed horror films – now remastered in 4K Ultra HD and Dolby Vision. The young Jennifer Corvino, played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth, Top Gun: Maverick), is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a vicious killer is on the loose. Jennifer has the unique ability to telepathically communicate with insects and an entomologist, Dr. John McGregor (Donald Pleasence, Halloween, Escape from New York), enlists her help in locating the murderer. As the mystery unfolds, they find themselves in a bizarre murder plot with maggots, telepathic insects and a razor-wielding chimpanzee! Can Jennifer uncover the killer’s identity before becoming a victim herself? Phenomena features a fantastic soundtrack from progressive-rock gods Goblin, British heavy metal masters Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Andi Sex Gang, Bill Wyman and Simon Boswell. Dalila Di Lazarro (Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein), Daria Nicolodi (Tenebrae), Patrick Bauchau (Clear and Present Danger) and Fiore Argento (Demons) also star in this truly unique, gory and unsettling thriller. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS ∙ New 4K restorations of all three versions of Phenomena, including the original Italian version (116 mins.), the International cut (110 mins.), and the U.S. “Creepers†cut (83 mins.) ∙ 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-rayâ„¢ presentations in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) ∙ Limited edition slipcase packaging designed by artist Wes Benscoter ∙ Reversible sleeve artwork ∙ Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring liner notes from Mikel J.

Most think Arrow is working on a boxset for 2023 so worth holding off imo.

Seriously, is anyone going to listen to the CD?

![]() I would. There's a Cathedral track on it. Which at a guess is Tombs of the Blind Dead which was a Japanese only bonus track on The last Spire. Or it could be Ghost Ship of the Blind Dead from The Guessing game. I thought you'd like Cathedral, Dave. |
