Romero as he is

A classic film about zombies, although not the first, as many people mistakenly believe. In 1964, director Jack Curtis took a picture of a somewhat similar theme - "The Devourer of Flesh," which also tells of monsters that devour human flesh, though they come from the depths of the sea.

But in any case, I think it is the picture of Romero rightfully considered to be the first classic film about zombies. Those zombies, at the mention of which any person immediately formed the correct associative picture: a plowed grave, half-decayed corpses with unnaturally slow movements, obsessed with the idea of ​​gobbling up a living person. And in the center is a group of people, usually in an occupied zombie, a house desperately fighting for survival.

In the film, Romero is still the same. In the center are brother and sister who come to visit the grave of their father. Strange figure in the cemetery, they mistakenly at first take for a simple man, but then starts kneading. Against modern zombie-movers, where the main idea is to infect millions of people, to splash blood screens and to focus close-ups on eating out eyes, brain and heart, in the film of the year 68, a rather calm narrative about a biological catastrophe, a military project (experiment ) with lethal consequences. The word "zombie" is never really pronounced in the film, in fact, these corpses generally do not frighten anyone. Therefore, the picture does not look at the same breath and does not cause horror or awe. By the way, a very ironic end. Right, life.

To all fans of the genre of "zombies" to start watching it is necessary with a picture of Romero, and, not only this, but all his subsequent. Unfortunately, personally for me, all the films on this topic are almost the same and, again in my opinion, do not represent a special interest in terms of the horror of cinematography.
