The dead walk. Putrid corpses claw their way out of earthy graves
and stumble towards civilisation. They are bloody, rotting, and
hungry for human flesh - and it's all George Romero's fault. With
1968's Night of the Living Dead Romero unleashed the modern zombie
onto cinemas, annihilating their voodoo roots and resurrecting them
as passed away friends and dead loved ones. Its sequel, the zombies
in a mall masterpiece Dawn of the Dead, took Romero's apocalyptic
nightmare further. Its frank depiction of bloodshed changed horror
cinema forever and paved the way for such recent offerings as Shaun
of the Dead and 28 Days Later. But there is more to Romero than
just the living dead. He reinvented the vampire in Martin, took on
the American military in The Crazies and has collaborated with
horror legend Stephen King on both Creepshow and The Dark Half.
Even today films like Land of the Dead have proven Romero to be a
fearless anti-establishment filmmaker. He's a maverick, a man who
frequently directs outside of the Hollywood mainstream, allowing
his films to work as both chilling frightfests and impassioned
comments on the American psyche. This Pocket Essential examines
Romero's work up to and including his latest Diary of the Dead and
explains why filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese often
refer to him as horror's greatest living director.
