10 best zombie movies ever
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)
A surprisingly intelligent, lyrical variation on the zombie theme from Spanish director Jorge Grau, made in England with a Spanish/Italian cast and crew. Contains one of the more novel means of revivification – ultra-sonic waves used by farmers as a new kind of pesticide create undead pests instead. Sound is fundamental to the movie – the 70s score mixes synths with heartbeats, howls and ghastly death-rattle noises – though the attention to sonic detail didn’t stretch to the frankly hilarious attempts at British accents.

For respect - watch the the first 5-10 minutes of the remake.
You will see the reporters helicoper - in the same colours etc - fly in front of the camera before the car crash below where the car gets hit side on and sets the petrol station on fire.
A nice nod to George Romero - and apparently, no one wanted sprinting zombie in the remake but the producers
