Description of this Zombie Movie Poster
Zombie is a 1978 zombie horror film written, directed, and edited by George A. Romero, and produced by Richard P. Rubinstein. An American-Italian international co-production, it is the second film in Romero’s zombie film series. Although it does not contain any characters or settings from the previous film, Night of the Living Dead (1968), it shows the larger-scale effects of a zombie apocalypse on society. In the film, a phenomenon of unknown origin has caused the dead to reanimate and feed on human flesh. David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross star as survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves in a suburban mall in the grip of mass hysteria.
Romero waited several years before directing another zombie film after Night of the Living Dead to avoid being stereotyped as a horror film director. While visiting the Monroeville, Pennsylvania, mall with a friend whose company managed the complex, he decided to use the location as the basis for the film’s story. The project caught the attention of Italian filmmaker Dario Argento, who, along with his brother Claudio and producer Alfredo Cuomo, agreed to co-finance the film in exchange for its international distribution rights. Argento also consulted with Romero during the scriptwriting phase. Filming for Zombie took place between November 1977 and February 1978 in Monroeville and Pittsburgh. The special makeup effects were created by Tom Savini, whose work on the film led to a long career creating similar effects for other horror films. In post-production, Romero and Argento edited separate versions of the film for their respective markets. Argento’s version features a progressive rock score composed and performed by his frequent collaborators, Goblin, while Romero’s cut features stock music from the De Wolfe Music Library.
After premiering in Italy on September 1, 1978, Zombie was released in other markets the following year. Despite difficulties with various national censorship boards—in the United States, the film was released unrated to improve its commercial prospects after receiving an X from the Motion Picture Association of America, and in Britain, it was likely to be seized during the 1980s moral panic over the “evil of video”—the film proved to be a major box office success, grossing $66 million worldwide on an estimated budget of $640,000. Noted for its satirical portrayal of consumerism, Zombie has received widespread critical acclaim since its initial release, and is widely considered one of the greatest horror films ever made, as well as the greatest zombie film. In 2008, Empire magazine listed it among the 500 greatest films of all time, along with Night of the Living Dead.
Zombie was followed by four official sequels, beginning with 1985’s Day of the Dead, and a separate series of unofficial sequels made in Italy, beginning with 1979’s Zombi 2. The film also inspired a 2004 remake directed by Zack Snyder, as well as numerous parodies and pop culture references.
