RIP: George Romero

Postby Lianachan » Fri Jul 21, 2017 3:28 pm

Or rather, Happy Birthday Zombie George Romero - died July 16th.

Hugely influential, genre shaping and ballsy director. Not many directors would have made a film in 1968 where the resourceful black hero fights off the undead all night, only to be killed by a redneck posse the following morning.

The genre sure has come a long way. We owe him a big thanks for it.
