NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD |
The ultimate zombie film,
once voted "Greatest Drive-In Movie in the History of the World,"
George Romero's crude but compelling classic about an army of
walking zombies that have taken over the eastern third of the
United States and are closing in on a farmhouse in Pennsylvania
can still make people dive under their seats (or their cars). It
started as a second feature, but the public made it a word-of-
mouth runaway hit. It remains one of the most unrelenting
concoctions of terror, monsters, darkness, claustrophobia,
paranoia and small-town evil in which blood relations turn on one
another and the whole world is endangered and anyone can die at
any moment. Banned in several cities. With Judith O'Dea, Russell
Strenger, Duane Jones, Ken Hardman. (Some geniuses at the Hal
Roach Studios put out a colorized version, but if Romero wanted
the zombies in color, he would of MADE THE ZOMBIES COLORED.) |
