NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Trailer

A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of recently dead, flesheating ghouls, George Romeros claustrophobic vision of a late1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is available on Criterion Bluray, DVD 13 February 2018:
