Note : I hadn't actually seen this one, although I had heard about it, but when there was some buzz around this new Synapse 4k remaster, I decided to check it out, and honestly, I regret not having seen it sooner, because it's pretty great. It's a Spanish-Italian coproduction set in England (and acted in English), a clearly Night of the Living Dead-inspired, 70s downer ending zombie environmental horror film about a couple of hippies in the twilight time of the hippies, and it definitely wears its ideology on its sleeve.
The zombie outbreak is caused by a new scientific breakthrough in using ultrasound to counter agricultural pests, and the main antagonist is a police inspector who's pretty much a straight-up fascist, muttering about "faggots" and "permissive rot". It ends badly for everyone, but before then, there's an oppressive mood of impending doom in the picturesque Northern English countryside, brief but very explicit bursts of gore and violent death, creepy "realistic" zombies, and some engaging character work. In total, this is an excellent 70s zombie film, kind of a middle point between Romero's socially conscious metaphor and the gory revived corpses of the Italian zombie wave.
George, who owns an antique store in Manchester, is going to his house in the countryside for the weekend, but his plans are interrupted when his motorcycle is accidentally damaged by a Edna, who's on the way to visit her sister, and they decide to travel together in her car. Along the way, they pass through a farm where an experimental ultrasonic bug killing machine is being tested, and Edna is attacked by a strange man, who disappears before anyone else sees him. At Edna's sister's Katie's house, her photographer husband Martin is trying to keep her off heroin, and they're attacked, and Martin is killed by the same man, who is very strong and shrugs off injuries. A zealous police inspector suspects Katie of the murder, and as more bodies start turning up, he suspects the whole bunch of them of being killer hippie satanists, while George starts piecing together what's actually going on...
This is a pretty great looking remaster, very clean, perhaps slightly more grainy than I would have preferred, but otherwise flawless, the 5.1 remaster sounds great, and the two commentary tracks are very worth listening to, as they really put the film into context, comparing and contrasting with other zombie movies both before and after. Trust me, get this one.
