DON'T
Miss This Double Feature!
Don't Open the Window
dir.
Jorge Grau, Spain/Italy,1974, 35mm, 85 mins, color
 The
first of many European zombie films inspired by George Romero's
Night of the Living Dead, this stylish chiller has
the distinction of being quite possibly the most frequently
re-titled
film in cinema history! Better known under the name Let
Sleeping Corpses Lie or Breakfast at the Manchester
Morgue or Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or...
Don't Open the Window centers on two young people in
the English countryside who discover that a local farmer's attempt
to use radiation as a form of insect control has accidentally
resurrected the recently deceased. Yet stubborn police detective
Arthur Kennedy suspects that the spate of murders and cannibalism
cropping up in the area are not supernatural in nature, but
rather ritualistic killings performed by our hippie-ish leading
man.
Don't Go In the House
dir.
Joseph Ellison, US, 1980, 35mm, 82 mins, color
A victim of child abuse grows up to become a maniacal construction
worker. He stalks women at discos, takes them home, then hangs
them upside-down in a special steel-walled room and sets them
on fire. Quentin Tarantino cites this movie as one of the most
disturbing films he's ever seen - and this is coming from the
guy responsible for that scene with the ear and the straight razor.
A grim, unpleasant slasher film that is definitely not for the
feint of heart or easily offended.
