Romero's \u003ci\u003eNight of the Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is a cult classic that has resonated with audiences and independent filmmakers ever since its release in 1968. It redefined horror cinema and launched the modern zombie genre that continues with films and series like \u003ci\u003e28 Days Later, Shaun of the \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDead \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Walking Dead\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBen Hervey's illuminating study of the movie traces \u003ci\u003eNight's\u003c\/i\u003e influences, from Powell and Pressburger to fifties horror comics, and provides the first history of its reception. Hervey argues that the film broke cultural barriers, f ted at New York's Museum of Modern Art while it was still packing 42nd Street grindhouses. Scene-by-scene analysis meshes with detailed historical contexts, showing why \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e was a new kind of horror film: the expression of a generation who didn't want their world to return to normal.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Hervey\u003c\/b\u003e has lectured in Film Studies and Anglo-American Literature at the Universities of Oxford and Reading, UK.
