Description of this Night of the Living Dead Poster
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film written, directed, photographed and edited by George A. Romero, co-written by John Russo, and starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. The story follows seven people trapped on a rural farm in western Pennsylvania, which is taken over by a growing group of cannibalistic undead ghouls. After gaining experience directing television commercials and industrial films for their Pittsburgh-based production company The Latent Image, Romero and his friends Russo and Russell Streiner decided to realize their ambitions by directing a feature film. Choosing to make a horror film that would capitalize on contemporary commercial interest in the genre, they formed a partnership with Karl Hardman and Marilyn Eastman of Hardman Associates called Image Ten. After evolving through multiple versions, Russo and Romero's final screenplay was primarily inspired by Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I Am Legend. Principal photography took place between June and December 1967, primarily in Evans City. In addition to the Image Ten team, the team included friends and family, local theater actors and enthusiasts, and local residents. Although it was his first film, Romero used many of the guerrilla filmmaking techniques he had perfected in his commercial and industrial work to make the film on a budget of $114,000. After its theatrical premiere in Pittsburgh on October 1, 1968, Night of the Living Dead grossed US$12 million domestically and US$18 million internationally, more than 250 times its budget, which making it one of the highest-grossing film productions ever made at the time. Released shortly before the adoption of the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system, the film caused great controversy and negative reviews upon its initial release due to its explicit violence and gore, but it quickly has a cult following and critical acclaim. It has been featured on lists of the greatest films ever made, including by Empire, The New York Times and Total Film. Often considered the first modern zombie film and a touchstone in the development of the horror genre, retrospective analysis has focused on whether it reflects social and cultural changes occurring in the United States. in the 1960s, with particular attention given to the leading role of Jones, an African-American. In 1999, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Night of the Living Dead spawned a franchise that includes five official sequels released between 1978 and 2009, also directed by Romero. Due to its public domain status, the film has inspired several remakes, the best known of which, written by Romero and directed by Tom Savini, was released in 1990.
