Ancestor of the genre

Now this film seems to be protracted and not at all terrible. However, in the distant 68-m this was a real revolution. Watch all the movies and series free streaminh on Putlockers New site -  http://www.putlocker123.stream/ . I strongly recommend that site for it. Massively begun to walk the dead, turning with one bite in themselves like, were a real breakthrough in the genre of horror. But Romero did not just come up with a zombie (this name, by the way, appear much later), he simultaneously opened the genre of Zombie-Apocalypse. By the way, another cult icon of horror films appears in the film - and it seems to me that this is also the first time. It's about MMD - Little Dead Girl. Which, of course, necessarily pounce on the parents. Of course, the appearance of the zombie was still far from the current standards, they had not yet been trained to run and did not know about the existence of the bosses, but the genre itself was created, created literally by one work shot

Classics of the genre

This film by George Romero is not for nothing readable classical, and i recommed you to watch it for free on Putlocker123 site. First of all, it should be noted that the film is excellently shot. The director shows that he knows the meaning of the word suspense in perfection. The very first scene of the film in the cemetery was not in vain classical. The siege of the house, in which the main character will hide, will also become classic. Completely on the second plan departs the fact that many scenes echo with "Rio Bravo" and "The Last Man on Earth". What is important is that almost the entire line with the siege of the house had a significant impact on Carpenter's "Attack on 13th Site", Rodriguez's "From the Sunset to Dawn," Shamalan's "Signs" and many other films. In truth, the film itself does not impress me very much. Everything seems very banal - only because the picture of Romero was quoted directly and ind

Father - the progenitor of films about zombies. Romero and his best work, in my opinion. Watch series online on Putlocker123 site. Link -  http://www.putlocker123.stream/series , also you can find there lots of movies. Next, quite interesting continuations followed, but this film is remembered among others. A black and white picture (this is not a joke about the race), which caused great excitement. You can continue indefinitely. What distinguishes it from everything else? Plot? Heroes? Let's try to understand. Of course, the most important factor is originality. For 1968, it was a breakthrough of horror films. The picture was doomed to success. It's much later to shoot something like that. Romero has created a child, for many films, books and games that we know now. Yes, there is an earlier film, the White Zombie of 1932, but there everything was a bit different. The plot part, became the basis for all films about zombies. When, the main characters, survive the in

One word is a masterpiece. The legendary film, the first film where zombies appeared (the dead came to life). The best film in its genre. The plot is excellent, the actors play at the height, the camera work is beautiful! The night of the living dead is a must see every connoisseur of horror films, every fan of zombie horror. Forget about the modern makeup of the dead - they are not here. Forget about the destroyed city - it's not there either. Forget everything you knew about zombies and see this beautiful, beautiful film ... 1000 out of 10, nothing less.

Looked in his right mind and will draw such conclusions. Of course I'll take into account the year. This film is no doubt a classic of foreign cinema and in general a zombie horror genre and you can watch it online on Putlockers new site fo free . First of all I want to note a good role of actors, that they are so involved in the role that they replay and get over emotional and drama "blazing" from the facial expressions and the mouth of the actor. There is a lot of drama in this film, sometimes even more drama than zombie horror, but nevertheless captures even a little surprise. All the same Romero in the distant 60 coped with this "new" genre and I think if I lived at that time, the opinion was completely different. The first time I watched this movie for a long time, I absolutely do not remember anything, most likely I have this opinion about this film, because I rely on more modern films of the zombie horror genre. The ridiculous situation in the

I'm very sorry for the horror movies! In the cinematography there is not one genre so hated by various kinds of festivals. There are famous European film reviews, there are the most popular Golden Globe and Oscar, there are festivals like "Sundance", introducing the "young cinema". There are even premiums in the porn industry. I can not remember any horror film that deserves a major prize at one of the festivals. And even if they were narrowly focused, it would be exactly where the leaders and lawmakers would get "Psycho", "Halloween", "Something", "Radiance", Rosemary's Baby "," Alien "and surely there would be" Night of the Living Dead " George Romero. The story is this: in the cemetery at the wake of his father come brother and sister - Johnny and Barbara. Immediately they are attacked by a man resembling a walking dead man. They are hiding in the house, where the driver passing by B

More recently, the world's cinematic public has lost the wonderful director George Romero. A man who committed a revolution in the genre of horrors. It was thanks to his efforts that the modern genre of films about zombies was born. Living dead appeared in the literature long before the invention of cinema. But the modern archetype of zombies, as rebel dead, first appeared in the cult picture of 1968 "Night of the Living Dead". George Romero defined the development of the zombie genre for many years to come and had a significant impact on modern culture. Watching this tape is hard to believe that it was directed by the debutante. From the very first shots, the light, but at the same time disturbing style of narration is amazing. A black and white picture in this case is absolutely appropriate solution. Tense atmosphere literally from the first minutes envelopes the viewer and causes discomfort. There is an excellent author's idea, when the sound of crickets is u

Not having done, by and large, nothing outstanding, but "having guessed" once with the right combination of symbols, George Romero has written his name into the history of the cinema. Say goodbye to delusions interesting. Just over a year ago, my knowledge of the zombie-movie genre boiled down to viewing two or three trashy horror films with a primitive storyline, as is now clear, full of stereotypes. All the popular zombie culture and the enthusiasm of some acquaintances about individual samples of it provoked bewilderment, turning into inner sarcasm. According to the almost Pasternak formula - "I did not look, but I condemn". And then I caught sight of a thematic collection, with which I continue to get acquainted until now. 10 best movies about zombies. It began, of course, with Romero. And immediately it became clear that one interesting genre for me in cinematography was added. Contrary to prejudice, it turned out that the films do not boil down to th

I can not remember how many times I came across the mention of this film on the Internet, in reviews of horror films and other attributes of a similar theme. And the film was mentioned purely from a positive country and was considered the progenitor of the horror genre, in which many horror films were shot in the future. I note, we are talking about the 1968 movie, by the way you can watch lots of free movies on Putlockers new site. The world was swept by a wave of bloodthirsty violence on the part of the dead, but at the same time loosely moving the half-minded people, eager to tear to pieces any man who came to them. A group of surviving people finds themselves in a secluded private home, where they try to rebuff the revived dead. Perhaps, I expected a lot from this film, judging by the responses I recently stopped trusting, because the taste and color, as they say, there are no friends. So, expectations, as always, were overestimated. Sure, I'm making a discount to the

Is not this movie the first film about zombies? At least, it is in him more reveals the theme of the phenomenon of living dead as an unpleasant discovery for mankind. A classic situation with a view: the house barricaded from an external threat with people disagreeing about salvation without sacrifice. Brave twirling, revolve around the main character, deeply (too) shocked by what he saw. The house is surrounded by dead living (or living dead, to whom it is convenient), and all the latest events transmit television and radio news that are a substitute for access to the outside world. For 1968, this is new and attractive; for today - it's frayed and built according to a common pattern, but is it not interesting to see how horror movies were made before, without computer graphics, with honest work of film crews? No longer frightening - and yet impressive yet! It's funny to imagine the reaction of the first viewers of such a cinema, for the life of those who did not see anythi

The progenitor of modern films about zombies

Изображение
"Night of the Living Dead" is a film that can be called the progenitor of modern films about zombies. Of course this is not the first picture about living dead, but it has several significant differences from the films shot on the same subject in an earlier period. The first difference is that the zombie of this film does not have a manager, for example, the sorcerer Voodoo, as in the pictures "White zombies" and "Plague of zombies". The second, in my opinion, the most significant difference is that zombies are able to infect ordinary people (through a bite) and they in turn also become part of an endless horde of living dead. The film has not a bad plot, although fans of modern zombie genre picture may seem boring. Here we will not see giant megacities flooded with millions of living corpses, and the government army struggling desperately with them. There are no big and terrible mutants in the movie and super heroes saving the world and possessi

In 1968, George Romero made a film, which later became the classic of the genre. "Night of the Living Dead" cost only 114 thousand dollars, but taking into account the reissue in 1990, brought more than 16 million. It is noteworthy that the picture was originally black and white. Today, the viewer can hardly appreciate her. Filled with computer special effects worth tens of millions of dollars, he no longer looks at the actors' game or the work of make-up artists. It is believed that "Night of the Living Dead" became the first horror film with a sci-fi background. In the future, it will spawn a lot of clones, and in 1985, the first parody will be released, fully dedicated to him and "Dawn of the Dead" Romero (1978) - "Return of the Living Dead", which gave a direct reference to the film Romero. In 2006, the first remake of the movie "Night of the Living Dead 3D" was released. In 2011, a new remake of "Night of the Living

This independent low-budget masterpiece of the beginning director George Romero became a real horror classic and the birth of a new genre trend. "Night" begins with a desert landscape, against which a car with two heroes - brother and sister Johnny and Barbara - is sent to the cemetery, accompanied by a frightening soundtrack. It's just an ideal introduction for this type of film, instantly addictive, giving the viewer to understand that there is something awful ahead of our heroes. Then follows the scene in the cemetery, on which there is no news from where the living dead man appears and attacks our heroes. Without any explanation, the prehistory, the film immediately gives the viewer a "kick", not allowing him to really understand what's what for at all. And then it's just impossible to tear yourself away from the viewing, enjoying a gradually increasing suspense, atmospheric video and a magnificent storyline. But the film was filmed for $ 114,0

This is the first film, by me, the esteemed Romero, on the theme - a zombie, which at the end of time became exalted to the status of a cult. I will not dissemble, the film did not make a special impression on me, but it was very interesting to watch the acquaintances who, in more of his contemporary works, liked me very much and now every new work of this director is a cinematic holiday for me. All as always - the main characters are locked in a house around which hungry zombies are wandering, the tension increases with every attempt of the ghouls to get inside to have supper, the characters reveal themselves, there is some acting art that unfortunately does not shine, and to put it mildly, even if given the temporary canyon between me and the film. Let the actor's play not so hot in places, but the script is classically verified to the ingenious simplicity, I'm generally impressed by films that, without any hints, in the form of unnecessary dialogues, go straight to the

Not outdated classics

Sometimes it's interesting to look at some really old movie and at the same time find something really fresh in it. It was incredibly interesting to see the original Night of the Living Dead, which became the forerunner of not only films about zombies, but also, in part, only trash of cinematography. Of course, because of the technical implementation of perceiving the tape as a horror film probably will not work, but the age of the tape does not hurt to enjoy it as a work of art. The plot of the film is deliberately primitive and is based on the underlying fear of people before the corpses. It is difficult to imagine something that is simultaneously so familiar and so repulsive as a dead human body. And George Romero skillfully plays with this fear, forcing his characters to be both afraid of opponents and really disgusted with them. There is relatively little violence in the film, especially against the background of modern zombie films. A lot of time is given to the build

But you know - once there was a life without a zombie. In the movie mean. This is even hard to imagine, because now it is the love of millions. There were, of course, some pictures in the spirit of the "White Zombie", but it was a local level. And then he came - the maestro of the genre of zombie-movi and brought him joy in many homes. And they still worship him. His name is George Romero. So, "Night of the Living Dead", year 1968. Yes, 1968 was a significant date for world cinema. It was then that George Romero gave the world the first picture of a massive invasion of the living dead. With a small budget, unpretentious storyline and primitive effects, but this film has won the hearts of millions. Not just because Romero was able to please the thirsty movie fans of the time, but because such a breakthrough would still take place. As they say - "I will not do it - someone else will do it." But the first was George Romero. Barbra and his brother John

Arrived at the grave to his father, Barbara and her brother Johnny faced a strange aggressive man who, without saying a word, joined Johnny in a fierce battle, and then began to pursue and the girl. In search of protection, Barbara fell into an empty house, where the young boy Ben soon burst. Turning on the TV, they found out that there was a general epidemic in the country - the dead were "alive" and began to kill all people in their field of vision, after eating the flesh of their victims. And the house, meanwhile, is in a dense ring of terrible creatures. In 1968, a relatively young 28-year-old American director, George Romero, forever inscribed his name in the history of cinema, making the first full-length film about the "living dead", which later became a cult example and a support for the subgenre of "zombie horror." Even more respect for Romero begins to experience, knowing how many obstacles he managed to overcome in order that this film was

What can I say? This film, shot by a young Romero in the turbulent 60's, gave birth to a new genre of horror films "Zombie Horror." Who would have thought that such wonderful and frightening pictures as "The Dawn of the Dead", "Resident Evil", etc., originate from this film. After the collision of the satellite with the comet on the ground begin to wander the dead people. Several survivors, who miraculously managed to avoid death at the hands of cruel creatures, hide in a small house. Their goal is simple - to hold out until dawn, but how can this be done if the dead surrounding the house become more and more, and the chances of survival are less? And there's still a whole night ahead ... This film should not be scolded, for the simple reason that this is a real classic of zombie movies. This is a very dark and tense film, frightening and depressing even to this day. The most surprising thing is that it combines both survival problems and h

It happens that a film, shot, literally for a pack of crackers, "shoots" and turns out to be a cult. "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), even in this case, stands apart - having removed it, then still unknown to anyone director George Romero raised a layer of the horror genre and opened a new direction - zombie movies. "Night of the Living Dead" will certainly disappoint the modern generation, because the events in it are developing too slowly, and the dead are not at all like the fast, calculating killers they now depict. But nobody canceled its high status. Now it is more a symbol, passed into rjazryad undoubted classics of cinema. In addition, then, in the late sixties, the tape looked quite frightening. So, when Brother Johnny and Sister Barbara visit their father's grave, they are attacked by a man who looks like a zombie. Johnny is killed, and Barbara, running away, hides in the abandoned house on the farm. Soon the farm is surrounded by

The very first film about zombies, living dead, "living" is not under the protection of the sorcerer, but walking on the ground for another reason. Once upon a time, thirty years before my birth, a film with a terrible name for those days called "Night of the Living Dead" appeared on the screens. It was shot by a certain George Romero, an unknown director at that time. The film caused a public response, its creators were called devil-worshipers, and the film - a call for cruelty. Despite this, the film was not withdrawn from the hire, and, after a few years, he became a legend. George Romero's cult film about living dead is remembered even now, after forty years ... Brother and sister, Johnny and Barbara, go to the grave of his grandfather, which is quite far from the city. Arriving there in the late evening, they find themselves in the thick of things. Johnny dies at the hands of an unknown man, who drives Barbara into a house on the outskirts of the ce

The plot of this film immortalized hundreds of zombie-movi, with an enviable regularity coming out in the last twenty or forty years. The dead rose from their graves and set out to search for lively and juicy human flesh. They are stupid, slow and there are a lot of them. Victory over them ensures the destruction of an animated brain. This time, the foreign radiation radiation is to blame, but with the same success and clarity it could be anything. From global warming to the Day of Judgment. In addition to the fact that this movie is the founder of the subgenre, in the film Romero captivates fidelity to cinematic values. A frightening atmosphere, intense expectation, horrific scenes with the participation of the undead, a nervous sound acting on the nerves. Moreover, there are no sharp and cutting sounds, as well as a detailed surgical dissection. The spectators are not poured with gallons of blood and do not shower with human insides. Even more.

It so happened that the original George Romero film I saw after the remake of Savini. Therefore, to evaluate the film was doubly difficult. To begin with, I note that the version of Tom Savini is significantly different from the original with respect to the characters of the individual characters (Barbara), as well as the version of the finale. Despite the fact that the film was shot more than 40 years ago, he is still able to scare even the notorious horror lover. No, not at the expense of the realism of the "dead" or special effects, but in a much more sophisticated way, which can only be achieved thanks to the talent of the director, who is Romero. "Night of the Living Dead" creates a special, frightening atmosphere. Creates so realistically that sometimes goosebumps ran through the skin. One of the main techniques that George Romero used to create a heated atmosphere - music and sound series in general. Terrible, pressing, frightening music is almost con

I did not expect anything from this film, but at the end of it - was pleasantly surprised. This film is very different from the modern films about the zombie, and you will understand this, only after watching the film to the end. Frankly, I was extremely surprised by the ending; an absolutely unpredictable outcome. Also, I did not expect that the 1968 film could scare the modern and tempted by horrendous horror films, a man, but he really scares, and scares any zombies, but how much the atmosphere itself. And the atmosphere is really present, which is injected with music, causing an overwhelming sense of suspense. I liked very much how human relations are shown in a closed space; D. Romero like an attentive psychologist felt, and then painted, all the vicissitudes of human relationships. (I will not list, because I do not want to make spoilers). It is impossible not to say that this film is a kind of forerunner of all the films "about zombies", since it was in this film t

And why is the unpretentious horror film, shot for three kopecks in Pittsburgh, became a cult in the end and is the purest example of the genre of zombie horror even today, in the spoiled XXI century? What was it like in this film that helped George Andrew Romero become a movie director, and this work is a benchmark of the genre of zombie horror? Plot? Partly. Despite the logical holes and a wonderful rationale in the spirit of "adored, people became zombies because of the radioactivity of NASA's satellite flying from Venus!", Then there were no films that would tell about people in a closed space. This is now every seventh shoots low-budget horror films about a couple fleeing in a locked house from Necht, then "Night of the Living Dead" was the first film on this topic. In addition to this - a new brilliant idea of ​​zombie horror. This film is rightfully considered the best work, revealing this topic. Why? Because, despite the fact that we are talking ab

In our time it is difficult to imagine that once in the movie there was even no concept of "movie about zombies". However, then there were films about people who, under the influence of voodoo, do not control their actions and obey the master. Those films about zombies came out rarely and did not really have success among the audience. Then no one thought that an unknown infection could suddenly fall on the world, which would turn people into walking dead people. But then a certain George A. Romero came up with his partner John A. Russo plot about the invasion of zombies. It is worth noting that the plot has changed many times, but the final version of the script, it is about the invasion of the dead, was very successful. Now the plot of the tape looks typical for this kind of films and classical. Several people unfamiliar to each other are locked in a lonely house in order to survive and survive the night, and there are no other people around except strange creatures.

Speaking of this film, one can not help but mention that he was shocking for that time, and he shocked, first of all, his cruelty. Yes, now the scenes, like those that were in the film, seem quite harmless. However, it was related to "Night of the Living Dead" or not, a month after the premiere of the film, the American Association of Motion Picture Association ratings were created. This film was the first and only horror film to receive the "R" rating (teenagers under 17 years are allowed to film only accompanied by one of the parents). It was with "Night of the Living Dead" that the zombie fashion began. It was there for the first time that extremely naturalistic and cruel scenes of eating human flesh appeared, it was there that zombies ceased to be slaves to sorcerers, but became on their own ... But not only and not so much this film is charming: the leitmotif in it is the relationship of the heroes of the picture, in this deadly trap. And if the

What does the word "Romero" mean to you? Or rather, who is this? I immediately have associations such as: zombies, master, master of horror, king of zombie horror. I do not think that for you George Andrew Romero means something different, because it is a universal name, known to almost everyone. And every genius always starts from something. Someone with short films, someone with amateur paintings, and someone takes 114 thousand dollars and shoots a film for which he will be remembered to this day. Night of the Living Dead is the first film of the famous director. This picture is not with the Hollywood scale and with him does not have big names. And that's how often famous films are made, which then include all sorts of top-ranked ratings and are considered standards of genres. And this picture in 1968 hardly left anyone indifferent. Strange people eating other people (it is unlikely that the term "zombie" was at that time widely known) could not help b

I do not like black and white films, so I looked at the color version. At first the film did not like me at all, I even wanted to turn it off, but since I read a lot of positive reviews before watching, I decided to watch everything. And rightly so, the minute on the tenth begins all the most interesting and impressive, and to the very end does not let the viewer take a single step from the screen. The main thing before starting the preview is to set yourself up for a while, to the idea that there was nothing like this before the film, and then you can quite feel the horror that is undoubtedly present in this picture. The beginning of course is not too impressive, and the first zombie that met is not very much like a living dead man, but the rest obviously did not disappoint. As for the actors' play, it is very unofficial, someone does not finish playing, for example a black actor, someone overacts, for example, an actress who played Barbra, and someone is simply gorgeous,
