Watching somebody so terrified, that they lose their mind and start laughing hysterically, as theyre eventually devoured by a mob of zombies, is easily one of the most disturbing things ive ever seen in a film.
Day of the Dead is the best. That scene when Sarah cuts her boyfriend's arm off is intense and the shot of Bub screaming and crying when he finds Dr. Frankenstein dead is heartbreaking.
For me, Dawn of the Dead is Romero's magnum opus, not as serious in tone as Day of the Dead / Night of the Living Dead, but had the perfect mix of serious moments and whacky humour which the remake in 2004 also captured, with the Ambulance, Sniping "Celebrity" Zombies, and CJ's many quips throughout the film, it was a very faithful remake.
Day of the Dead is still my all time favorite zombie movie. Its a masterpiece in my opinion. The Night of the living dead 1990 remake runs a close second.
Definitely. I think its gradually started gaining a decent sized hardcore fanbase now though. I noticed that Dawn of the Dead 2004 is also starting to gain a decent sized fanbase following now too. I know many fans of the original Dawn of the dead are extremely loyal to the original movie, but i honestly think its worth giving the 2004 version a space on the shelf amongst your blu ray collection if you love zombie movies. I've always really liked the Dawn remake. Day of the dead will always be my favorite though. It was the first blu ray i ever bought. It was the Arrow version with the clear window box sleeve, and the Bub comicbook. Think the comicbook was titled, Desertion.
OrioNCreeD Yeah the 04 film is great. Love the original Night of the Living dead and the remake is absolutely awesome. Im probably in a tiny minority with this, but im also a fan of Night of the living dead 3D and Night of the living dead reanimation. I just like the atmosphere of both films and think theyre pretty damned cool for low budget movies. I know most people hate them but theres just something about them that i find enjoyable. Jeffrey Combs and Andrew Divoff were great together in NOTLD reanimation. Combs was really funny. I totally agree about the zombies looking really good in the 1990 Night of the living dead movie. I really liked the zombies in The Walking Dead, season 8. Some really nasty looking ones in that. Some real ugly, crusty looking mothers in that he scene when Negan and Gabriel escaped from the trailer they were both trapped in. The toxic river zombies looked nasty as hell too. We cant forgot Tarman from the return of the living dead 1 and 2 either. Awesome looking zombie. Some pretty messed up looking zombies in ROTLD 3 as well.
OMG I thought I was the only one that felt that way because Day of the Dead and the 1990 Night of the living dead remake are my top 2 favorites in the entire series too! Alot of great childhood memories tied to both of those movies. I remember going to stay at my grandparents house on weekends and getting to go rent movies from Blockbuster video and I would always rent those two movies. I can remember being so upset if they were already rented out, like I felt like the whole weekend was ruined when that happened LOL.
I agree! Day of the Dead is definitely a total masterpiece. It's not the zombies that terrify me. It's the sociatal collapse and failure of structure between the survivors that scares the shit out of me.
Night of The Living Dead is great but it's my least favourite of the trilogy and that's because I think it's lost the most with age. As you say, you could cut the tension with a knife but a lot of its time is spent introducing how zombies work to us. While these are still tense scenes they don't have as much effect on me as they would have done on audiences in 1968. Whereas Dawn of The Dead and Day of The Dead play with more unique ideas that haven't been done in the same way since. In Dawn we spend so much time with the survivors in the mall, we even get to see them have fun and become quite comfortable despite their surroundings. And then Day shows scientists actually research the zombies and try and come up with solutions to the apocalypse, which is disappointingly rare, I'd love to see more stories cover the post-post-apocalypse
These 3 films are in my blood, I hope twilight of the dead gives me the same feeling i felt when I saw Night of the living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead as a kid, those films is what gave me my obsessive love for zombie genre, especially Dawn, the greatest zombie film of all time, you defined my childhood Mr. Romero, thank you for creating this incredible genre and giving us these masterpieces. R.I.P
Given the era in which these films came out in, where many horror films were arguably just cash grabs and empty plots that are just wasting time to reach violence, it speaks volumes that George a Romero was able to craft these 3 films. He could’ve easily thrown a bunch of characters together and focused so much on gore and shock of these zombies and called it a day. What’s fascinating to me is that what makes these films scary is the idea of societal collapse in face of a disaster. We face them so often and as a whole we turn and eat eachother at the first chance. It makes me anxious to wonder how I’d fare because so much of your survival would be dependent on who you’re in this mess with, and what’s going through their heads.
George a Romero said himself in an interview which is on TH-cam that the casting of Duane Jones was that he was the best actor in that anything racial was accidental most people know that the original concept of Ben would be that he was supposed to be a white male truck driver who was hot tempered Duane Jones changed most of the script for Ben
Brilliant analysis on George A. Romero's classic Zombie trilogy! :D Excluding Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" Comic series, the question on Man's morality and whether or not they're worthy of getting back that which they lost, despite them being the cause of the Post-Zombie Apocalypse, has remained very endearing and ever so fascinating. ^.^
Romero wrote the character of Ben thinking he'd be white and cast the best actor who was black he never changed a line of dialogue. The racial subtext comes from casting not writing.
@@Pseudobadger Given it's in public domain I always thought a shot for shot remake but with a white Ben would be interesting just to see how much casting changed the tone of the film. With that said Duane Jones was brilliant in the role.
@@mau7522 I've seen that one and they changed plot aspects of the film. I'm talking about a straight up shot for shot remake simply to see how it changes the tone and tension of the film.
Great video! I find the Zombie movie to be one of the most fascinating sub genres of horror. I really like the more 'documentary' approach you take with your videos. Not many people do that. :D
Thanks! I really appreciate all your support. Zombies have the ability to convey a really potent message from their creator. Also, the blood and gore is usually really sick and awesome haha
I don't think Miguel was trying to sacrifice himself. After all he didn't know the danger Sarah, John and Bill were in and based on his mental state, I figure he had finally snapped and decided to take everyone out. He however just ended up taking out Rhodes and his ilk, while sparing the trio.
Love the OG trilogy. Night is an unsettling creepy wtf experience,Dawn is an all out romp as the world slowly starts to fall,and Day is just fucking all out End of days!!!
I actually saw Day first, around 1989, as I was only about 15 then, so didnt know the others. All 3 are completely amazing stand alone movies but lately Ive gravitated more towards Day as the best one. The zombies were better, less generic, John Harrisons soundtrack is easily the best of the 3, and the message is broader and more applicable in my opinion. Night is without question the most atmospheric, though.
Night of the Living Dead is a classic. It really makes me appreciate The Walking Dead for all of the influence the trilogy, but NOTLD in particular, had on that zombie epic
Romero's "Living Dead" film series is practically an analysis on what's going on with the coronavirus. The coronavirus is like the living dead consuming all and exposing everything that's wrong within humanity. The survivors in these films are like people nowadays--turning against each other at the worst possible time over the most petty of things. The films are also criticizing and exposing all of the darkest truths about what America is. Romero was trying to say that rather than trying to preserve American society as it is; it may have been better to completely leave and destroy it and try to rebuild American society from the very beginning and preserve it that way.
One very tiny thing I would change if I would’ve made these films myself, what if bub was Peter from Dawn, giving his character a second story arch as a zombie, how fucking dark, tragic, and freaking cool would that have been, don’t get me wrong, the trilogy is a masterpiece and there perfect the way they are, but that concept just crossed my mind I thought I’d share
Bub is one of my favorite zombies. I affectionately call him "a cute little badass" because when Frankenstein is trying to teach him how to be like a human, he's just downright adorable in his childlike wonder. However, I have one huge nitpick of Day. It's that we can't have straight up bunkers in Florida, the sea level just won't allow it. And with Fort Myers having a beach, the whole idea of bunkers is pretty unrealistic.
Night of the living dead is my absolute favorite movie ever I watched it the night before then the next night I watched dawn of the dead so I could see them in succession
This is a great trilogy but I'd have to say day of the dead is my favorite of the 3 but dawn is also really good theres just many things about day of the dead that are great and I enjoy but I like all 3 and all 3 are easily some of or are the best zombie movies ever made in my opinion
Was working on rage of the dead with dwane Johnson as the black lead slso starring David Caruso as a psycotic scientist also with Brian dehney and Don Johnson and others. A wierd cast but was going to be like a modern day night of but Romero put movie on hold when he got too sick. Would have been really interesting
I understand Romero never liked the returning space probe being the cause of the outbreak and one of the motivations to film the NOTLD remake (which I prefer).
night of the living dead, i never ...never got any racial vibes, I always took every fight as opinion on best place to be for safety, and barbara just being a space cadet
Night of the Living Dead was made in 1968, but you said 1966. My idea of how each sequel is linked, the Night of the Living Dead is actually a dream by the female lead in Dawn of the Dead. And how we get to Day, it's either from the antagonist in Day when the actor showed up in Dawn, or the lead in Day is the daughter of the woman in Dawn.
watch night of living dead documentary 40 year anniversary , Ben was written as a white guy or as George said. Colorless . They met Dwayne when was staying at his families house in pa for thanksgiving vacation. But he was from ny. He was such a good actor George gave him the Ben part. Didn’t change the script. So it’s replaced from white to black and it took a life of its own.
To be honest the end of Day of the Dead was so out of nowhere that I honestly believed that the characters died and that what we see is them in some sort of paradise in the afterlife
I see Night as a film that was kinda an accident that just happened to come out at the right time (even if it didn't pick up steam from the jump). Add in the slick commercial director (Romero) at the helm, whom along with John Russo ripped off Matheson's I am Legend. Added some twists and turns to an already interesting story. Used what little friends, time, equipment, and other resources at their disposal. Put it all together and it came out brilliant. I call bullshit on the whole casting Jones cause he was black and it would make the film "edgy" too. Especially anything to do w/Dr. Kings assassination. Romero has said he was driving the film to NY when he heard the news over the radio. I, like many of you are borderline "obsessed" with this man's films and have read everything I can possibly get my hands on, as well as kept up to date with all interviews and supplemental material on EVERYTHING that's been put out over the years. This was an extremely low budget film, but the stars aligned for that talented filmmaker and his bust ass cast and crew. RIP George A Romero.
Whoever thinks any of these three movies are corny or outdated are just spoiled privileged simple minded gen Z kids that think cartoonish CGI & zombies that can run are actually realistic or cool when they're ridiculous just like the generation that feels that way!!!!!
Would it be easier if you just cover on the actual timeline not just about the 3 films I would like for you to do that in order for you to meet us a timeline I would like to recommend it that you told her as it is and not saying were they fit by the release here don’t necessarily have to go in the release year this is the events of how they have went if you go to Josh Spiegel and his channel known as this “movie timelines” I do recommend it and here’s the list that you can go off of and I’m gonna make one of my own starting with the movie known as the dead walkers The dead walkers Night of the living dead Diary of the dead Dawn of the dead Day of the dead Night of the living dead 1990 Land of the dead Road of the dead Survival of the dead Twilight of the dead War of the living dead This Hass to be the timeline I would like for you to make this Taiwan and you can mention my movie oh it does not exist yet I have two of them know I am going to suggest to Tom Savini it was only gonna be t3 films that I am going to suggest for him to do as for the dead walkers this one is going to take place at the very beginning where the dead walkers also known as zombies would it be starting to come above ground And also the morgues and hospitals and the unburied dead is coming back to life and seeking human victims it will be established in the way I will tell it night of the living dead the movie is actually based on real events is based on a true story if you want to know the name of the website check this name out The real night of the living dead There will be a column talking about there was a hospital that the dead dude tried to move around just so you know this tells you that the film stay about to make a timeline regarding of the films and where they fit I’d like to request it and I recommend it give me a shout out You can know me as ghetto
I definitely love Dawn the most out of all three then day but I respect night so much and love how that was the turning point for zombies becoming undead flesh eating creatures
The word zombie is only used twice in George's theatrical releases. Once in Dawn and once in Land. Yet almost every retrospective uses the term. I'll quote Rhodes "They're dead! They're fucking dead!" I know it's a nitpick but it's fucking distracting to hear George's dead referred to as zombies
@@shanasimpson2785 I respect your opinion, but I did not like Survival. I actually liked some things about Diary. We are different in that way but similar in that we both appreciate Romero. :) Thank you four taking the time to response to me. Rock on, or like so many zombies do, walk on. :)
@@Pseudobadger survival was the most comical in the series and was entertaining every minute , the characters were fun and there was a few brilliant things in it, i'd give it a low 8 i use to hate survival but know since i really watched it with a open mind , watch a review done by some duesdaecon or something guy he opened my eyes to it , diary was also fun and its decent but has a few flaws that, None of georges films fall flat all are entertaining, my favorite non dead is monkey shines
This trilogy feels more poignant nowadays than ever before. Such a great trilogy.
Watching somebody so terrified, that they lose their mind and start laughing hysterically, as theyre eventually devoured by a mob of zombies, is easily one of the most disturbing things ive ever seen in a film.
What's amazing is that variouslly, over 40 years of watching them, they all take turns as my favorite!
Day of the Dead is the best. That scene when Sarah cuts her boyfriend's arm off is intense and the shot of Bub screaming and crying when he finds Dr. Frankenstein dead is heartbreaking.
Always been my favorite

What? If you say "not serious as tone" you mean Return To The Living Dead right?
Day of the Dead is still my all time favorite zombie movie. Its a masterpiece in my opinion. The Night of the living dead 1990 remake runs a close second.

NOTLD is easily hands down the best zombie film ever made. It has everything, and it's atmosphere is beyond dreadful.
No you’re stupid it’s aged dawn of the dead is the bigger better sequel
Probably one of the best horror films. The tension never lets up
@@andrewwebster2598 Right after Johnny gets killed, everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

Thanks! Yes, Criterion did an amazing job with their reissue, the film looks amazing!
Day of the Dead is the best. ❤❤❤

@@giulioboobzilla Well _kinda._ It's more like a pruned version of the story.

New video, new reason to love this channel, a new day not believing this site doesn't have a million subscribers.
Thanks! I’d say, give it another 23 years and I should hit about 1 million subscribers hahaha
Matt Draper well I believe many of us will stay here for your content until you achieved.
I really do appreciate it!
Hell yeah Matt, fantastic video!
Thank you very much!
It was a shame that Duane Jones (Ben) never acted again. His performance in the original NOTLD is outstanding.
He acted sporadically after that, mostly in the 1980s. In fact, he died while his last film (Abadon) was still in production.
My favourite ghoul was the airport plaid shirt poster zombie!
Did you see him make a cameo in TWD show?
This is the best video I have watched all day and probably will be for a very long time
George A. Romero's Trilogy of the Dead is definitely still relevant today, with COVID-19 and all.
I'm glad I found this channel, quality stuff! Please cover PREACHER, etc!
Thank you! Preacher will be a big undertaking, but will definitely happen at some point.
Great video! I find the Zombie movie to be one of the most fascinating sub genres of horror.
I really like the more 'documentary' approach you take with your videos. Not many people do that. :D
Thanks! I really appreciate all your support. Zombies have the ability to convey a really potent message from their creator. Also, the blood and gore is usually really sick and awesome haha
I watch a lot of video essays about movies, but this one seemed the most necessary.

Thanks! I’m hoping to keep them a regular part of the channel year round, but with even more focus given around Halloween.
Great job as always
Thank you!
Love the content and especially the song outro. Im currently all about that song, Vampires by The Midnight 🎷🔥🤘
I don't think Miguel was trying to sacrifice himself. After all he didn't know the danger Sarah, John and Bill were in and based on his mental state, I figure he had finally snapped and decided to take everyone out. He however just ended up taking out Rhodes and his ilk, while sparing the trio.
Agreed.

Excellent review of the original trilogy. Will you review Land, Diary, and Survival next?
that last statement is more relevant now than ever
Land of the Dead made the trilogy a quartology.
And IMO, that one should've been called Dusk of the Dead.
great analysis
Thanks!
Great video, Matt
One of the best trilogies in all of cinema. Romeo is a cinema legend. You should cover land of the Dead and diary of the dead
Night of the Living Dead is a classic. It really makes me appreciate The Walking Dead for all of the influence the trilogy, but NOTLD in particular, had on that zombie epic
Awesome video bro. Keep it up
I grew up on all these movies.
This was Perfect

Was working on rage of the dead with dwane Johnson as the black lead slso starring David Caruso as a psycotic scientist also with Brian dehney and Don Johnson and others. A wierd cast but was going to be like a modern day night of but Romero put movie on hold when he got too sick. Would have been really interesting
Love it!
Dawn of the dead is my favorite.
I love the images/posters first seen at 3:08! Anyone know if they are available, commercially, to buy?
nice video
Please do a video on Watchmen! It's probably my favorite graphic novel ever and would perfectly suit your format.
I’ll have to figure out something new to say about Watchmen first, as it’s been analyzed so much over the years, but if I do, I will!
Haha, fair point :p hope something comes to mind. Maybe Kraven's Last Hunt would be more appropriate?
That one will absolutely happen!
great channel
its a perfect trilogy
Trilogy, absolutely right... it's a trilogy. Nothing happened after Day Of The Dead. Day is still my favourite zombie movie.
Yessssss!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
It kinda reminds me of A Serious House On Serious Earth. Like it has a very similar feel.
England? Have a wonderful friend, miss carole who made me a dawn of the dead movie poster quilt. It's a prized treasure to me :)
I understand Romero never liked the returning space probe being the cause of the outbreak and one of the motivations to film the NOTLD remake (which I prefer).
Bravo
I love these movies and they’re way creepier than anything made these days
Criterion needs to do a set of the first three.
night of the living dead, i never ...never got any racial vibes, I always took every fight as opinion on best place to be for safety, and barbara just being a space cadet

So, the return of the living dead movies explore the brains eating zombies, Romero’s films were flesh eating zombies.
"Cabin". I think you mean a farmhouse, sir.
Your Missing one other George Romero Film ''Land of the Dead''!!!

Night of the Living Dead was made in 1968, but you said 1966. My idea of how each sequel is linked, the Night of the Living Dead is actually a dream by the female lead in Dawn of the Dead. And how we get to Day, it's either from the antagonist in Day when the actor showed up in Dawn, or the lead in Day is the daughter of the woman in Dawn.
The first three zombie films by George a Romero was the best in my opinion
Song please?
Why did that guy in that shot from Dawn near the end look like Hugh Laurie?
watch night of living dead documentary 40 year anniversary , Ben was written as a white guy or as George said. Colorless . They met Dwayne when was staying at his families house in pa for thanksgiving vacation. But he was from ny. He was such a good actor George gave him the Ben part. Didn’t change the script.

To be honest the end of Day of the Dead was so out of nowhere that I honestly believed that the characters died and that what we see is them in some sort of paradise in the afterlife
The mustachioed guy in white on the left at the 11:00 mark took me out of the whole damn film. What a Jack hole
I tghink you might be digging too deep into the meaning of Night Of The Living Dead

Whoever thinks any of these three movies are corny or outdated are just spoiled privileged simple minded gen Z kids that think cartoonish CGI & zombies that can run are actually realistic or cool when they're ridiculous just like the generation that feels that way!!!!!
All good
Why doesn't this guy have a TH-cam Red series?
Gonna need another 5 million subscribers first, I think!
1st in night they were in a farm house not a cabin, and the trilogy is known as the unholy trilogy
I think romero.took the idea of vincent price the last man on earth , 🤔 i recomend it great classic

Why does everyone assume Miguel is Sarahs boyfriend when hes quite obviously gay.
neat
EVERY society ever has collapsed, i for one feel privileged that I will get to witness the collapse of this one.
Sounds like the USA circa 2020.
Awesome video but it's not a trilogy, it's a quartet. You left out "Land of the Dead" which was the fourth installment.
Two films followed "Land of the Dead." They were "Diary of the Dead" and "Survival of the Dead," the latter of which was pretty atrocious.
It is a trilogy. If it was a quartet, the movie would have been called Dusk of the Dead.
Land of the Dead was trash though, and doesn't deserve a spot in the original series.
@@jordanjoestar458Land is pretty damn great.
Would it be easier if you just cover on the actual timeline not just about the 3 films I would like for you to do that in order for you to meet us a timeline I would like to recommend it that you told her as it is and not saying were they fit by the release here don’t necessarily have to go in the release year this is the events of how they have went if you go to Josh Spiegel and his channel known as this “movie timelines”
I do recommend it and here’s the list that you can go off of and I’m gonna make one of my own starting with the movie known as the dead walkers
The dead walkers
Night of the living dead
Diary of the dead
Dawn of the dead
Day of the dead
Night of the living dead 1990
Land of the dead
Road of the dead
Survival of the dead
Twilight of the dead
War of the living dead
This Hass to be the timeline I would like for you to make this Taiwan and you can mention my movie oh it does not exist yet I have two of them know I am going to suggest to Tom Savini it was only gonna be t3 films that I am going to suggest for him to do as for the dead walkers this one is going to take place at the very beginning where the dead walkers also known as zombies would it be starting to come above ground
And also the morgues and hospitals and the unburied dead is coming back to life and seeking human victims it will be established in the way I will tell it night of the living dead the movie is actually based on real events is based on a true story if you want to know the name of the website check this name out
The real night of the living dead
There will be a column talking about there was a hospital that the dead dude tried to move around just so you know this tells you that the film stay about to make a timeline regarding of the films and where they fit I’d like to request it and I recommend it give me a shout out
You can know me as ghetto
Your bullshit rant about race for Night was painful. Good God that was hilarious.
Fr 😆
It was spot on.
I definitely love Dawn the most out of all three then day but I respect night so much and love how that was the turning point for zombies becoming undead flesh eating creatures
The word zombie is only used twice in George's theatrical releases. Once in Dawn and once in Land. Yet almost every retrospective uses the term. I'll quote Rhodes "They're dead! They're fucking dead!"
I know it's a nitpick but it's fucking distracting to hear George's dead referred to as zombies
Actually a 4 part not a trilogy
There was a fifth and a sixth film, friend. Check it out, although the final film was pretty bad.
@@Pseudobadger survival was not bad but diary was, also those are in georges modern remake, so those arent cannon
@@shanasimpson2785 I respect your opinion, but I did not like Survival. I actually liked some things about Diary. We are different in that way but similar in that we both appreciate Romero. :) Thank you four taking the time to response to me. Rock on, or like so many zombies do, walk on. :)
@@Pseudobadger survival was the most comical in the series and was entertaining every minute , the characters were fun and there was a few brilliant things in it, i'd give it a low 8 i use to hate survival but know since i really watched it with a open mind , watch a review done by some duesdaecon or something guy he opened my eyes to it , diary was also fun and its decent but has a few flaws that, None of georges films fall flat all are entertaining, my favorite non dead is monkey shines
