Description: Barbra and her brother Johnny arrive at the cemetery, located in a secluded countryside location. Suddenly they commit assault creatures, reminiscent of the dead, who rise from their graves. Barbra takes refuge in a nearby house, where also find refuge black guy named Ben, Harry and his wife Helene Cooper and her daughter Karen and beloved Tom and Judy. Only after a time, they can learn that the cause of the disaster, has already taken a planetary scale, is radioactive radiation from Venus Named one of NASA spacecraft.
Review: When the 1968 came out in this black-and-white tape, which was filmed for only $ 114 thousand, and paid off nearly two hundred times (including the re-release in 1999, and at the global box office fees), few thought that pretty soon it will not only be one of the most quoted and simply ripping off the less talented imitators of all kinds, but also a true classic of the genre. In fact, “Night of the Living Heads” – a horror film with an implied fantastic overtones.
The dead from the cemetery in the city of Pittsburgh began to revive under the influence of radiation spread by the NASA satellite that returned to Earth after a mission to Venus. Rather a kind of “venereal disease” affected the brain of the newly dead again resuscitated only to kill all living and devour their flesh. And to destroy the newly minted zombie (although the word is never uttered in the picture) can only be shot in the head in order to brain damage. It’s just trying to make those who had taken refuge on a remote farm: Ben and a young African American woman Barbara, who found in the basement of a few people who wanted to escape from the bloodthirsty monsters night.
But, strictly speaking, the plot has the smallest value in the debut work then only 28-year-old George A. Romero, who also acted as co-writer and cameraman, and even appeared in a tiny role in Washington reporter. It would seem unsophisticated, almost amateurish method of filming (by the way, Romero was shooting short films with teens), and if by chance arose screen work novice filmmaker has all the trappings of the Cinema Style. What’s more – it can be seen as a cautionary dystopia like the low-budget horror films the 50s, such as “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” Don Siegel. Although the George Romero called as a source of inspiration mystical absurdist tape 1962 – “Carnival of Souls” Herk Harvey, Kansas, was created in less than one hundred thousand dollars.
It’s funny that his own work was defined as “the best film ever made in Pittsburgh.” And the director remained faithful to this city in two sequels – “Dawn of the Dead” (1978) and “Day of the Dead” (1985), giving producers the requirements only when a picture of “Earth Dead” (2005), which for the sake of saving money was filmed in Canada, but it still cost $ 18 million

Hmmm, well, met George a few times. He was very accessable throughout PGH for many years, no airs what so ever. Sometimes he would sit at a table during a small community parade and personally sign and sell copies of his films for like $10, or less, or barter. Had friends that knew him so got to get to know him a bit, just a real down to earth guy, didn’t really like to talk about himself, but loved to hear stories about anything or anyone. Even went to the Monroeville Mall with he and a smallish group once, wow, whatta trip, in more ways than one…..Kudos, Wip!
