Hello, today I'm going to talk about a classic: Night of the Living Dead.
Directed by George A. Romero, this 1968 film caused lots of controversy in the USA when it was released because of its explicitly violent scenes and the gore we find in it. Of course, nowadays this is nothing for us, but I think it is very interesting to see the changes in censorship and public reaction to violence from then to now.
The film starrs Duane Jones as Ben, a man who hides in a farmhouse with Barbra (Judith O'Dea) from a crowd of frenzied killers. Once in the house they find more people who are hiding from the killings. Later they find out that these are no normal people: they have been infected by a radiation that came from outerspace and now they can only die if their brain is destroyed. Also, the radiation makes dead people come back to life as the killers that now roam the country.
The film is the fight for survival of this small group of people entrenched in a house against hordes of zombies.
I have very much enjoyed this film even if it is old and in black and white (due to low budget), but this gives the film an interesting aesthetic.
8/10 enjoy de classic zombie film!
