Featured review
Every bit(e) counts
No pun intended - and yes while I do agree this is way too short (I was expecting at least a feature length documentary), every little snippet, every little interview, every little insight is something I cherish. Night of the Living Dead was a revelation when I first watched it - and it is quite the important movie of its time - but also in the history of horror movies. More on that on the movie site itself.
People share their thoughts on why the movie was important - there is no insight on the troubled .. well legal issues the movie had. If writers and actors are on strike right now because of loyalties (money or earnings of a movie they made - that they don't receive), Romero had quite a lot to say about that with NotlD ... he never saw any money of it as I understand it and it is one of the movies anyone can use without having to pay for it ... which is why there are infinite amount of releases too.
But that is a different story and does not take anything from the movie itself. Would have been nice if they mentioned that here - or rather delved into it - but the running time. For any fan still essential viewing then, but I understand if some (many?) are underwhelmed.
