Night of the Living Dead

1968, Movie, 1h 36min

Shot outside Pittsburgh on a shoestring budget, by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, Night of the Living Dead, directed by horror master George A. Romero, is a great story of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of recently dead, flesh-eating ghouls, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role. Stark, haunting, and more relevant than ever, Night of the Living Dead is back. Night of the Living Dead was restored by the Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation and the Celeste Bartos Preservation Fund.

Surprisingly restrained in the splat department, this revs up the tension with unfussy efficiency...

Verdens første zombie-film i moderne forstand. Virkelig en klassiker!

En av de bästa zombiefilmerna som gjorts där känslan av att konstant vara jagad och hopplösheten alltid är närvarande. Den låga budgeten ger filmen bara en mer verklighetstrogen känsla.
