Set in the English countryside, but actually filmed in Italy, "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" is another cult favorite of the foreign zombie film genre. The plot is somewhat irrelevant, but I like the different touch of an agricultural machine making the dead rise. Basically you have some people meeting each other and they end up in a zombie situation. Luckily this film was created in the early 70's and that story line hadn't been completely killed to death.
All over the internet I read a lot of comments about it being one of the best unknown zombie films. I guess you have to define unknown. I don't think I'd call it one of the best, but it is for sure not the worst. Overlooked? For sure. Essential? Hardly. If you can ignore the bad voice overs and the fact that it is extremely dated, this is a great film for horror buffs and zombie nerds alike with some great gore and surprisingly beautiful scenery.
