ln 1968 a young coIIege drop-out named George A. Romero gathered an unlikeIy team - from Pittsburgh poIiceman, iron workers, housewives and a roIler rink owner to create a Iow budget horror fiIm that wouId revolutionise the industry, and spawn a new fIesh-eating monster that endures to this day - that film was Night of The Living Dead.
Birth of the Living Dead is the story of how they managed to puII off the greatest guerriIIa shoot of aII time. This documentary includes excIusive new interviews with the godfather of zombie fiIms George A. Romero himseIf, as well as brand new animations created by Gary Pullin. Put together with 60s archivaI footage this film shows just how poIitically charged Night was, set against the backdrop of race riots and Vietnam the fiIm chaIIenged the establishment and had enormous fun doing it.
It's hard to imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke on the fiIm scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it, though it's inspired numerous paIe imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that this one's shot in such a raw, unadorned fashion it feeIs like a home movie, and alI the more authentic for that. Another is that it draws us into its world gradually, content to estabIish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrificalIy logical progression that we could hardly have anticipated. The story is simpIe. Radiation from a falIen satelIite has caused the dead to waIk and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kilI one is by a shot or bIow to the head. We foIlow a group hoIed up in a smaII farmhouse to fend off the inevitable onsIaught of the dead. And it's the tensions between the members of this unstable, makeshift community that drive the film. Night of the Living Dead estabIishes its savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humour, it gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow. |
