Birth of the Living Dead

This oddly short documentary gives us a history lesson on the iconic groundbreaking Night Of The Living Dead (1968) Though the interviews are mostly with Romero that is no issue for me as the man always delivers intelligent concise points on whatever he's talking about.

The documentary covers the films origins through its production and to the legacy that it created. Truly the movie was genre defining and a lot of what we see today on stage and screen wouldn't exist without its presence.

What this feature covers extensively as well is the race issues touched upon in the film and that were raging through America during the 1960's. This though nothing not seen before is informative and hard hitting.

Short, sweet and competently made this is a decent effort and a must watch for fans of Romeros work.

The Good:

Romero interviews are excellent

Well constructed

The Bad:

Tad short

Things I Learnt From This Documentary:

The guts and intestines being eaten by the zombies were real!
