Head Shot

Night of the Living Dead

By Mark Miller

Published on October 16, 2008 at 2:44am

In 1968, George A. Romero made Night of the Living Dead and forever changed the face of horror. While the original was light on gore, a bevy of sequels more than made up for lost time. The first, Dawn of the Dead, was released 10 years later and featured special effects by Tom Savini. His ultra-realistic makeup brought gore to new heights and created a tidal wave of blood-soaked cinema that has yet to ebb. Subsequently, Savini and Romero formed a bond and worked together on more than half a dozen films. Fitting then, that Savini paid tribute to Romero in 1990, directing a remake of the classic Night of the Living Dead with a contemporary sensibility. Simply put: more blood. For fans of the genre, it’s not to be missed.
