Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Jorge Grau’s 1974 Spanish/Italian film, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, is undoubtedly the best of the zombie films from the 1970s, excluding Dawn of the Dead. And like Romero’s zombie films, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie gladly wears its subtext on its tattered sleeves, for Grau’s film is also part eco-horror film (Frogs [1972], Squirm [1978], etc.) and part youth rebellion picture.
