Night Of The Living Dead: Review

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD | NIGHT OF THE FLESH EATERS

"They're coming to get you, Barbara!" Pittsburgh-based industrial filmmaker George Romero gathered together a loyal cast and crew of local talent, scrounged up enough money to shoot on weekends, and filmed one of the most terrifying pictures ever to hit the screen. Due to some unexplained phenomenon, the recently deceased have been turned into flesheating zombies. Horror movies would never be the same again.

Night Of The Living Dead: TV Guide News

DVD Tuesday: They're Baaaaack! Diary of the Dead | Movie News | 5/12/2008
DVD Tuesday And the corpse came back the very next day George Romeros Diary of the Dead puts a nasty new spin on old living dead clichesZombies have always given me nightmares and Night of the Living Dead terrified me before Id even seen it -- Roger Eberts piece about seeing it at a kiddie matinee in a neighborhood theater gave my imagination plenty to work with Ive seen a lot of zombie movies since then and Im pretty inured to them which is why I was pleasantly suprised by George Romeros new Diary of the Dead if pleasantly is the word I was afraid that the conceit -- essentially rebooting the Dead franchise by going back to the beginning and telling the story on digital video as though it had been made by student filmmakers a la Blair Witch Project -- would seem hokey and tired like the efforts of an aging filmmaker to appeal to the young folks TV Spot 2 - Where Will You BeBut I was wrong It actually get Romero back to the raw immediacy of Night of the Livi read more be the first to leave a comment
DVD Tuesday: The Crazies, Post-Vietnam Cynicism & Homeland Security | Movie News | 10/8/2007
The sequel to 28 Days Later 2002 that would be 28 Weeks Later in case you hadnt guessed streets today and its a good follow-up to one of those films that came from out of the blue and reminded horror fans like me that theres still life in the classic monsters All it takes is a directorscreenwriter team like Danny Boyle and Alex Garland to put a fresh spin on the old tropes But my pick of the week is an older and shamefully overlooked movie George Romeros The Crazies 1973 whose influence is all over films as various as a cluster of 80s horror pictures Impulse and MutantNight Shadows both 1984 Warning Sign 1985 the mainstream respectable Outbreak 1995 the video-game inspired Resident Evil series and of course 28 Days Later And frankly The Crazies core concerns are as timely now as they were in the wake of the 1960s counterculture if not more so Following the runaway success of Night of the Living Dead 1968 Romero read more be the first to leave a comment
October 26, 2006: Masters of Horror 101 | TV Show Recaps | 10/27/2006
Ah... my favorite time of year... the leaves are turning, Halloween plans churning, and Masters of Horror Season 2 is off to a screaming premiere tomorrow night [10PM ET/PT on Showtime]. As I weave my dark tvguide.com web here for the new season, I wanted to give Season 1 a short "re-capitation," and take us all through Season 2 "ghoul school."The Premise and The ExtremeMasters of Horror began as a dinner conversation among acclaimed horror directors, which soon became TV history-in-the-making. Director Mick Garris became the series Creator and Executive Producer, and his vision was to allow the "chosen 13" directors as much creative freedom possible. Showtime was up for this premise, and without MPAA intervention, 13 seriously extreme 1-hour horror films found a home on cable TV.And Then There Were 12The horror and cult community eagerly anticipated the 13th and final episode, directed by Japan's legendary Takashi Miike [Audition; Ichi the Killer]. However, finding it way too extre... read more
What's the longest film title ... | Movie News | 3/9/2006
Question: What's the longest film title ever? I know Dr. Strangelove, Marat/Sade and one of the Planet of the Apes films must rank up there!Answer: As my regular readers know, I'm always leery about superlatives — "first," "most," what have you — for a variety of reasons. Most people cite Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D (1991) as the longest English-language title of all time, but it's clearly a gimmicky joke — the movie it's attached to is actually Night of the Living Dead (1968) with new, "comic" dialogue à la Blobermouth (1991). So I'd rather go with real movies whose titles are at least nominally straight-faced (note that I did say "nominally"), like The Persecution and Assassination read more
I saw a movie in my ... | Movie News | 7/21/2005

Question: I saw a movie in my horror-film class that was filmed in the '30s or '40s. It took place on an island, and I think there were zombies and voodoo. It was really good. Do you by any chance know what it might have been?

Answer: I have two suggestions, one from the '30s and one from the '40s. Zombie movies were actually relatively uncommon until the '70s. George Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) reconceived the walking dead, with a heavy dose of inspiration from Richard Matheson's novella I Am Legend, which was filmed first as The Last Man on Earth (1964) and subsequently as The Omega Man (1971). Romero's zombies are sort of rotting lan read more
