    • Trivia
      Shot in 1973, screened at several festivals and events through years but it went largely unseen otherwise. A print was re-discovered in 2017 and sent to Romero about three weeks before he passed away. It received a 4K restoration and the horror streaming service Shudder announced in February 2021 they'd acquired the rights to show the film, and would release it later that summer.

    Horrifying symphony of symbolism and mistreatment.
    When I first heard this was being released I was excited and the more i heard about it, the more excited I got. And let me say this, it truly lived up to my expectations. It's depressing how something that came out all the way back in 1973 is still relevant. How we mistreat elderly and are so cut to the point with them and not giving them time to think or give them equal opportunities.

    The symbolism, from the white suit he wears getting dirtier to elderly people selling of clocks, will burn into your memory. The visuals progressively get more and more distressing.

    It truly is the scariest thing Romero has ever directed. Maybe even one of his greatest films.
