Produktbeschreibung
s/w
Ein kleiner Ort im mittleren Wester der USA wird zum blutigen Schauplatz eines Kampfes um Leben und Tod. Ein Kampf gegen eine Horde menschenfressender Zombies, denen ein unstillbarer Hunger nach menschlichem Fleisch gemeinsam ist. Angeführt von dem grauenvollen Ghoul, einem wieder zum Leben erweckten, zombieähnlichen Monster, versuchen sie, die letzte Zufluchtstätte der überlebenden Einwohner, ein einsames Haus, zu stürmen.
Verzweifelt hat sich dorthin eine handvoll Menschen geflüchtet und verbarrikadiert. Panik bricht aus, als die ersten Zombies in das Haus eindringen, einige Opfer anfallen und zu ihresgleichen machen. Die letzte Hoffnung - Polizei und Nationalgarde - ist weit entfernt. Die wenigen Übriggebliebenen müssen zur Selbsthilfe greifen, um zu überleben. Doch die Zeit läuft. Einer nach dem anderen fällt den Menschenfressern zum Opfer.

George Romeros in Schwarz-Weiß gedrehter Zombie-Klassiker aus dem Jahr 1968 besticht noch Jahrzente später durch verstörende Bilder. In einem Vorort Pittsburghs werden die Bewohner von Zombies verfolgt, die es nach Menschenfleisch dürstet. In einem Haus, dessen Besitzer den Zombies bereits zum Opfer fiel, suchen zwei voneinander unabhängige Gruppen Zuflucht vor den Untoten. Durch Radio und Fernsehen erfahren sie, dass man extraterrestrische Strahlung für die Zombieangriffe verantwortlich macht, die sich mittlerweile über das gesamte östliche Gebiet der Vereinigten Staaten erstrecken.
Sobald die Flüchtlinge in der Falle stecken, verlagert Romero den Fokus auf die Probleme, die innerhalb der Gruppe auftreten, als man versucht mit der scheinbar aussichtslosen Situation umzugehen. Was folgt, ist die Untersuchung menschlicher Verhaltensweisen, die von Ängsten und Eigensinn geprägt sind und viele davon abhalten, sich für allgemein verbindliche Belange zu engagieren.
Romero macht zwischen den Zombies und den organisierten Jägern keinen Unterschied. Beide erscheinen seelenlos. Der Film lässt sich auch als Kritik am männlichen weißen Establishment lesen. Es ist kein Zufall, dass eine Frau und ein Schwarzer die beiden Figuren sind, die am vernünftigsten handeln. Es ist genauso wenig ein Zufall, dass die Fortsetzung Dawn of the Dead in einem riesigen Einkaufszentrum spielt, das von Untoten belagert wird -- eine treffende Analogie zur Konsumgesellschaft. --Bryan Reeseman

ROMERO hat mit diesem Film den Grundstein für alle Zombiefilme gelegt, die sich künftig alle an seinem Film orientierten sollten. Zombies gab es früher schon, aber ROMERO war der erste, der die idee hatte, die Untoten von alleine aus ihren Gräbern auferstehen zu lassen. Zuvor waren es immer irgendwelche Voodoo-Magier, die sie durch ihre Zauberkräfte zum Leben erweckten.
ROMERO hat mit einem kleinen Budget von 114.000 Dollar und ganz bescheidenen technischen Mitteln, den ersten von sechs Zombiefilmen gedreht. "Die Nacht der lebenden Toten" war ein Freizeitprojekt des Regisseurs, weswegen er auch nur mit Hilfe von Freunden und Bekannten realisiert werden konnte. Da nicht immer alle Darsteller Zeit hatten und quasi ihre Freizeit opferten, zogen sich die Dreharbeiten ziemlich in die Länge.
Die Handlung ist ähnlich wie bei allen anderen Zombiefilmen, eine Seuche lässt die Toten auferstehen und jagt auf die Lebenden machen. So simpel, so gut, denn wie wir heute wissen, hat es der Mythos "Zombie" auf unzählige Filme und Serien gebracht, die alle nach dem selben Schema funktionieren.
1968 dürfte "Die Nacht der lebenden Toten" tatsächlich ein Schocker gewesen sein, heute funktioniert er nicht mehr so richtig. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass die Zombies nicht nicht erst seit "The Walking Dead" sehr viel realistischer und blutrünstiger geworden sind.
"Die Nacht der lebenden Toten" ist heute vor allem deswegen so interessant, weil er eigentlich die Geburtsstunde des "modernen Zombiefilms" ist, ansonsten finde ich ihn nicht sonderlich spannend. Wie er gedreht wurde und die technischen Details sind ebenfalls interessant, weil man mit ganz einfachen Mitteln ziemlich große Wirkung erzielt hat ... für damalige Verhältnisse.
Mein Fazit: Ich fand den Film aus historischem Gesichtspunkt sehr interessant, vor allem wie er mit ganz einfachen Mitteln gedreht wurde, fand ich genial. Die Handlung ist eher etwas zäh, zumindest für meinen Geschmack. Der Film ist schon arg angestaubt und nur für eingefleischte Cineasten mit einem Hang zum Nostalgischen interessant. Auch wenn man einen Blick auf die Anfänge des Genres werfen möchte, lohnt es sich ihn anzusehen. Für alle anderen wird es echt schwierig .....
Mit geringem Budget drehte George A. Romero seinen ersten Spielfilm über Zombies. Nichtsahnend dass er damit den modernen Horrorfilm einleiten sollte und unsterbliche Filmfiguren erschaffen würde. Subversiv angereichert mit Themen der Zeit wie hintergründige Aussagen gegen Rassismus (der Afroamerikaner Ben ist die einzige Figur, die besonnen bleibt), den Vietnamkrieg, die in den USA beliebte Selbstjustizpraktiken trafen genau den Nerv der Zuschauer. Der Film wurde so zum Geheimtipp und hat sich inzwischen als einer der besten Genrearbeiten aller Zeiten fest etabliert. Obwohl der schwarz-weiss Klassiker sehr minimalistisch konzipiert ist. Die Zombies sind auch noch nicht diese dämonischen Kreaturen wie in den Folgefilmen, es sind tote Amerikaner. Die Verfolgten verbarrikadieren sich in dem Haus, in dem sich fast die ganze Handlung abspielt, aber sie geraten angesichts der Überzahl der Untoten in eine immer auswegslosere klaustrophobische Situation. Auch ist den Beteiligten trotz der Durchsagen in den Medien nicht klar, was da gerade passiert. Die Gefahr lässt sich nur schwer erklären.
Die beängstigende Atmosphäre des Films entsteht aus einer Gefahr, die nicht näher erklärt wird. Es wird zwar immer wieder in den Medien beschworen, dass man die Situation bald unter Kontrolle hat, aber die kaltblütig mordende durchs Land ziehende Bürgerwehr weckt auch nicht das ganz grosse Vertrauen...
Dieser erste Romero-Film ist ein echtes Muß. Trotz dieser extremen Vielzahl von Zombieschockern, die seither realisiert wurden, ist "Night of the living Dead" immer noch der mit Abstand beste Zombiefilm. Er bringt den Schrecken genau auf den Punkt und braucht nicht viel an expliziten Szenen, um nachhaltig eine ganz starke Wirkung zu erzielen...
Bild und Ton sind in Ordnung.
Spitzenrezensionen aus anderen Ländern
In recent years the zombies, due to their stupidity, and the fact that they are easy to kill, have made them nothing more than things for the heroes of a film to blow apart in increasingly gruesome manners (so long as they're zombies the MPAA does not care how the characters go about killing them). So what is it about Romero's first Dead film that makes these creatures so darn scary? Two out of the three sequels to this cult classic (the classic Dawn of the Dead, and the more resent Land of the Dead) have used these creatures to create socially satirical environments exploiting human nature, while never bringing real spine tingling moments, the concepts (at least in Dawn) were equally frightening to the horror of Night of the Living Dead, just in a more psychological aspect.
How do these pitiful excuses for monsters bring in the scares within this low-budget exploitation film? I'd have to place my bet on the claustrophobic atmosphere Romero creates within the farmhouse, where ninety-five percent of the film takes place. In films such as Dawn, and Day of the Dead the characters had a lot more maneuverability. They could run, they could hide, and easily out maneuver these slow, clumsy creatures. Here, there is no room to move about, and you can feel that there truly is no way out, and no place to hide.
The film starts as a brother and sister drive to apply the annual decoration to their father's grave. The two individuals are Barbra and Johnny, and as the two leave they are assaulted by a man. Barbra flees to a nearby farmhouse, and the story begins. Soon after she arrives she encounters a strong willed man by the name of Ben, who quickly establishes that Barbra is hysterical and must be taken care of. Taking responsibility for both their survival Ben soon boards up the doors and windows, preparing to sit the infestation out until help arrives.
During the stay they discover some more survivors living in the house's cellar. There's the eager to help young man by the name of Tom, and his loyal girlfriend Judy, and then the paranoid Harry Cooper, his wife Helen, and their ill daughter Karen. Mister Cooper instantly protests against the command of Ben, saying that they all should retreat to the cellar, because there's only one way in and out of the cellar, as opposed to the house with its many doors and windows. Ben denies this, not wanting to be enclosed in a death trap without any means of escape if things were to go badly (which you know they will). In the end it seems only ironic as to how each character meets his or her fate.
I must point out the Ben character played by Duane Jones because he is obviously the star of this film, and for good reason. Considering this was the 1960s, and racism was still a huge factor throughout the country it feels remarkable to see such a well done performance by an African American actor, with such great intensity, especially with such a low-budget. He is strong willed, and won't let people change his mind, even to the point of ignorance, but he does so with such passion we, the audience, can't help but side with him as the character, even when he is clearly wrong at times with his decisions. His survival techniques are not perfect, but with his strong attitude he is able to make the survivors inside the house side with him, over the over-cautious (yet, in all fairness, intelligent) Harry Cooper.
This film has rightfully earned its reputation as one of the best horror movies to date, and still beats out all of today's zombie films by a mile. Here the zombies really are scary, without resorting to being anything more than slow moving, clumsy beings (unlike the remake of Dawn of the Dead where they felt inclined to super power the creatures). Also, the setting is so normal it further increases the scare factor. How many people haven't been in houses like the one in this film? Imagine being trapped in one of these houses, surrounded by vicious flesh-eaters in the late hours of the night. This is where Night of the Living Dead succeeds where others of the genre have miserably fallen. If it wasn't for the original Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead (both of which have been remade with a less positive response from critics and audiences alike) zombies would be some of the worst movie monsters ever conceived. This film innovated and created the concept of the living dead which have been embraced by mainstream audiences, and it is fitting that it is perhaps the ONLY film involving the creatures that has legitimately frightened me. Maybe it was watching it at night with the lights turned off, but I can say that few films have actually scared me when I watched it. Let me put it this way, most classic horror films that truly deserve their status don't scare me when I'm watching them, but end up poking my mind later on in the day (Examples are The Shining and the original Nightmare on Elm Street). With this film I was constantly holding my breath, and looking about the room nervously.
The reason I was frightened (and surprised) by this film was due to its incredibly fast pacing, which is very similar to the way films are made today. This film just never has its dull moments (not to say I like all action, I was just surprised how quick it was). The plot is extraordinarily simple, and could've easily been covered in thirty minutes, but Romero was careful to grab the audience in the first attack scene, and keep their attention through means of suspense and violence.
Now that brings us to the violence, and there is nothing that the undead are more associated with then excessive amounts of blood and gore. For the 1960s this film is incredibly violent, especially when it shows the undead feeding on the flesh of their victims. Being low-budget the victims are not seen being torn apart like they are in the sequels, but you still are given some disgusting shots of flesh from the bones, or fighting over intestines, which in some perverse way reminded me of people fighting over a chicken wing at a local KFC buffet. The images are just truly grotesque, maybe not to the avid, modern day gore lover, but to the common moviegoer it still holds up as being disturbing.
This is the best film of the living dead subgenre, followed closely by its sequel, Dawn of the Dead, and certainly holds up in all regards to the modern, brainless horror film. The film goes out to scare, and manages to pull it off, even to this day. Though the zombies are most associated with gore, and for the 60s this film surely had it, this is a film with more brain than blood, and that's why it has terrified people for so long, and will continue to do so, even as the creatures continue to become even less threatening through video games and modern interpretations (which happen to be video game based, for the most part). With their decline as an actual icon of terror, at least we can still return to the gut wrenching human struggle, and terror of George A. Romero's definitive horror picture.
5/5 stars; a classic that has endured the test of time with more strength, emotionally, and in the form of pure terror, than many films of the same era which possessed a larger budgets, certainly being on par with some of Hitchcock's greats.
The film itself is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and the included leaflet states: "This restoration by the Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation and the Celeste Bartos Fund for Film Preservation, was undertaken from a new digital transfer created in 4K resolution on Cineric's wet-gate film scanner, primarily from the original 35mm camera negative. For the few seconds that proved impossible to scan from this element -- approximately 1 percent of the feature film -- a 35mm fine-grain from 1968 was used. The transfer was supervised by director George A. Romero, coscreenwriter John A. Russo, sound engineer Gary R. Streiner, and producer Russell W. Streiner. After the evaluation of eighteen separate source elements, the original monaural soundtrack was remastered under the supervision of Romero and Gary Streiner from the original quarter-inch mix masters, quarter-inch premix audio tape, a final composite 16mm magnetic track, and the 16mm magnetic mix units. The restoration was performed at Audio Mechanics, led by John Polito. Transfer supervisors: Eric Nyari/Cineric, New York; George A. Romero; John A. Russo; Gary R. Streiner; Russell W. Streiner; Katie Trainor/Museum of Modern Art, New York. Colorist: Daniel DeVincent/Cineric."
Yes something after 1984 to actually thank George Lucas for! The film looks simply stunning. Both darker indoor and daylight outdoor footage look superb without sacrificing the authentic natural of the original print. No dNR sharpening here! Just nice clean up and remastering. Sound is the original high Def mono which is an absolutely perfect replication of the original design. It all comes packaged in a really nice compact black digipak with some terrific art emblazoned across the front and back.

In short, this is the greatest release of Romero's classic hands down. If you own any other version, this won't just be a 'double dip' it's a whole new ball game. Criterion have outdone themselves here. Just phenomenal!
Night of the Living Dead as a film does not need much explaining these days. The film starts off with two characters visiting their dead father in the cemetery. The scene quickly turns into a chase scene with one character being killed off and the surviving character Barbara running for her life, eventually landing herself inside some farm house in the middle of nowhere. Soon after she comes across Ben, Harry and other characters who find themselves defending the house from not only the undead but from each other. It is a simple plot and is very easy to follow.
Visually, the film is a classic black and white film. Perhaps even one of the last of the well known films in this style. Black and white movies come with the notion that they are very "old timey" but this is not the case with Night of the Living Dead. Don't get me wrong, the hair styles and over all fashion sense found in the film certainly dates it but the overall quality of the film is just beautiful. This new bluray print is extremely sharp, very clean and the contrast between the blacks and whites is stunning. It is hands down the best looking version of the film I have seen and I can't see myself wanting another copy in a very long time.
My only negative with this package is the cover itself. The two bluray discs are housed in a cheap cardboard sleeve and it really isn't very nice to hold. They have easily have used a much stronger, less tacky feeling material. It would have certainly have helped fans justify the high price of the film.
Despite paying £17 for a movie and getting a nasty feeling sleeve, I really don't regret purchasing this item. Night of the Living Dead is a classic horror movie, one that spawned two equally awesome sequels. It is a beautiful print and well worth for those of us who adore this film.
