The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue is a 1974 Italian/Spanish horror by Jorge Grau (Anchor Bay) All BBFC cuts were waived for the 2002 Blue Underground DVD, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie/The Living Dead at  Manchester Morgue It is interesting to see that this DVD has just been resubmitted to the Australian film censors and they have down graded the certificate to an MA 15+ Previously the 1:27s pre-cut cinema version was submitted for video in 1985 by Network Distribution. The BBFC demanded 26s of further cuts. This release was titled The Living Dead at  Manchester Morgue From cuts details on IMDb: Removed shots of the policeman’s mutilated body Removed all footage of flesh eating Removed shots of zombies on fire Removed the killing of the Doctor with an axe Removed a nurse being eviscerated and her breast ripped off. Before that, VIP released the uncut video in June 1992 titled The Living Dead. The Living Dead was listed as a video nasty in October 1983 but it was dropped from the list in April 1985 Review from US Amazon: British Mini Watching this film was a real treat as it was devoid of the usual American teenage students being slaughtered and was even filmed here in the U.K. It’s full of 1960’s/70’s kitsch and the hero’s even drive a real British Mini, a link copied in a recent advertisement campaign! The picture quality is excellent so you can see the Zombies in all their lurid excellence and so are the extra’s and packaging. If you only ever buy one Zombie movie, make it this one!
