Night Of The Living Dead George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead is a black and white classic that spawned the zombie genre from its 1968 release. At a cemetery in the American south a fleash-eating zombie rises from the dead to claim the first victim of a nightmarish plague. Increasing in number the hideous cannibals gather outside a farmhouse where seven desperate mortals shelter from the gathering night and the hideous clawing of the undead outside... Dawn Of The Dead As the oil runs out as the Three Mile Island nuclear plant sprays radiation into the atmosphere like an atomic teakettle that someone forgot to take off the burner and as the dollar gradually becomes more and more transparent Romero invites us into a crazed bedlam where zombies stagger up and down escalators stare with dulled fascination at department store dummies wearing fur coats and try to eat perfume bottles. The movie's four protagonists at first segregate themselves from this world and then unknowingly become part of it. The only difference is that they're not dead. At least not yet... Stephen King - Rolling Stone Magazine. Day Of The Dead (WS 1.85:1 / Dolby Digital (2.0) Stereo) The walking dead have taken over the world and only a small band of the living survive. This motley group of scientists and soldiers are barricaded in an abandoned missile silo where the chief scientist is conducting grotesque research experiments to find a way of controlling the ravenous marauding Zombies. Tensions meanwhile become intolerable especially when the self appointed psychotic military leader discovers that some of his soldiers have been used as guinea pigs in the zombie experiments. A last ditch battle results in the darkest day of horror the world has ever known. Exclusive Bonus Disc! Includes two documentaries ('Document Of The Dead' and 'Night Of The Living Dead') and an all-new photo gallery from all three movies!

George Romero's classic 1968 zombie-fest Night of the Living Dead (shot in black and white) offers some disturbing images, even decades later. In a Pittsburgh suburb people are being stalked by zombies ravenous for human flesh. In a house whose occupant has already been slain, two separate groups of people unite and board themselves in, hoping to fend off the advancing ghouls. Through radio and TV reports they learn that radiation from outer space is thought to be responsible for the wave of zombie attacks all over the eastern United States. Once the humans are trapped, Romero shifts the focus to the internal feuding between them as they decide how to handle their dreadful situation. What unfolds is an examination of human nature, and of the fear and selfishness that keep many citizens from getting involved in the world's problems. Appropriately, both the zombies, and the authorities who later hunt them, are equally soulless. This film could also be read as a criticism of white males--it is not merely a coincidence that the film's two most rational, constructive characters are a woman and a black man. It is also no coincidence that the sequel Dawn of the Dead (1978) takes place in a mall infested by the undead--a perfect analogy for consumer culture. --Bryan Reeseman, Amazon.com
