Night of the Living Dead had a budget of $114,000, jarringly violent content (though its intestinal tug-of-war and close-up cannibalism may seem tame to today's viewers), and a punkish nihilism: It is equally unkind to media, military, and police authorities and to its own heroes--parents trying to protect an injured child, a goodhearted young couple, and a likable hero who survives the night only to be mistaken for a zombie and killed by sheriff's deputies. But what strikes most jarringly against post-modern sensibilities today was the high religious content in the stories we heard. And the battle scenes, although jarringly interspersed with scenes from an American bond drive, seem as accurate as one might expect in a film. |
