The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue / Road Games

Friday at the Grindhouse

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue
Decent zombie pic that gets better towards the end.
We hardly see the zombies in action until the last 30 minutes.
The first hour it's just one smart zombie
moaning and attacking people.
Love the fact that the main cop didn't believe in what was
going on until the end.
The characters here were pretty lame, they didn't
know what to do or where to go whenever there was a zombie
from a distance.
But, of course, we needed those kills.
The gore was alright.

The only way to kill a zombie here was through fire.
Better have a lighter and lighting fluid handy when you see this one.




Road Games
Nice ozploitation with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Here we have a slasher flick
with an interesting plot.
I like the main character, the truck driver.
There was some intense moments in the flick.
One that comes to mind:
The truck driver hears a noise from the
back of the truck.
He checks it out.
In those moments, the close shots made
it seem a little scary, didn't know what was going to happen.
Good dialogue and an awesome ending.

Nice grindhouse flick.
