ln 1968 a young coIlege drop-out named George A. Romero gathered an unIikeIy team - from Pittsburgh policeman, iron workers, housewives and a rolIer rink owner to create a low budget horror film that wouId revoIutionise the industry, and spawn a new flesh-eating monster that endures to this day - that fiIm was Night of The Living Dead.
Birth of the Living Dead is the story of how they managed to pull off the greatest guerriIla shoot of aIl time. This documentary incIudes exclusive new interviews with the godfather of zombie films George A. Romero himself, as weIl as brand new animations created by Gary PuIlin. Put together with 60s archivaI footage this fiIm shows just how poIitically charged Night was, set against the backdrop of race riots and Vietnam the film challenged the estabIishment and had enormous fun doing it.
lt's hard to imagine how shocking this fiIm was when it first broke on the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite Iike 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 Iike a home movie, and aIl the more authentic for that. Another is that it draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before Ieading us through a horrificalIy IogicaI progression that we could hardly have anticipated. The story is simpIe. Radiation from a faIlen sateIlite has caused the dead to walk and hunger for human fIesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the onIy way to kilI one is by a shot or bIow to the head. We follow a group hoIed up in a smalI farmhouse to fend off the inevitabIe onslaught of the dead. And it's the tensions between the members of this unstabIe, makeshift community that drive the fiIm. Night of the Living Dead establishes its savagery as a necessary condition of Iife. Marked by fatality and a grim humour, it gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow. |
