Let Sleeping Corpses Lie

DramaHorrorSci-Fi95 min

A string of murders in the English countryside leaves two young travelers under suspicion while the actual killers are corpses reanimated by an experimental ultrasonic machine meant to wipe out insects. Cristina Galbó and Ray Lovelock are the outsiders caught in the police dragnet, with Arthur Kennedy’s detective treating them like obvious suspects as the deaths spread. The undead threat grows out of farm technology and government pest-control schemes, turning back roads, fields, and the Manchester morgue into sites of contagion.
