When a gruesome plague leads to an uprising of the dead, seven people in a remote wooden farmhouse fight for their lives against ever-mounting numbers of ghouls. No one can say why the dead are returning, but as terror takes over and panic and paranoia set in, one by one, the living are being whittled down. Who will survive to see sunrise? Made for little more than $100,000, George A. Romero's independently made, low-budget debut is a milestone of radical 1960s horror.
Part of our cult strand Shock Value.
“Over its short, furious course, the picture violates so many strong taboos that it leaves audiences giddy and hysterical”
“The original and the best”
“The most influential horror film since Psycho
”
“I had been infatuated about George’s work before I saw it. When I finally did watch, on VHS or late night TV, the likes of ‘Night Of The Living Dead’, I was a true devotee to all things Romero”
