Blog Topic #3 - COMMENT by 9:00 p.m. on Wed., 10/28

In your opinion...

Compare Night of the Living Dead to other horror films you've seen (especially other zombie apocalypse films if possible). In terms of cinematic, dramatic, and literary aspects, how is this film like and/or unlike other horror films you're familiar with? Develop your connections with specific examples from all the films you choose to discuss.

Remember the severe limitations this indie film had (extremely limited budget, no professional actors, no special effects experts, no original music, outdated camera technology, and the fact that George A. Romero not only directed the film, but he was also the cinematographer, co-screenwriter, and editor!) By comparison, the 2007 film I Am Legend had a budget of $150,000,000.
