The DVD says:
From Spanish Director Jorge Grau comes this carefully constructed and beautifully photographed tale of the undead roaming the English Countryside. Two travelling companions, George (Ray Lovelock) and Edna Simon (Christine Galbo), come across a small town infested with the "living dead" that are satisfying their cannibalistic hunger on anyone they come across. Discovering that an agricultural machine using radiation waves is at the root of all the havoc, George and Edna fight for survival and their innocence as they are pursued by a relentless detective who is convinced they are responsible for the ghoulish acts of violence plaguing the countryside. All this leads to a gruesome showdown at the Manchester Morgue - an ending that knots a horrifying twist in the lives of all involved!

My Opinion:
This film has some really creepy moments such as the first zombie meeting at the river where the 5.1 Soundtrack gets so intense that it brings a shiver to the spine. Unfortunately, the film doesn't deliver what it could have potentially. The dubbing is also appalling and detracts from the film. The morgue zombie scenes rescue the film slightly, but not enough to make this an all time great. The DVD has had the usual excellent treatment you would expect from Anchor Bay with a great picture and soundtrack. The extras are fairly bland, but the thick collector's booklet is full of interesting information.
