Genre: Action / Horror / Thriller / Sci-Fi
Director: George A. Romero
Cast: Gaylen Ross, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, David Emge, David Crawford, David Early, George A. Romero, Tom Savini, Richard France, Howard Smith, Daniel Dietrich, Fred Baker, James A. Baffico, Rod Stouffer, Jese Del Gre
A grotesque onslaught of human flesh is portrayed in this film as corpses hunt for their favorite meal: human flesh. SWAT team members Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) are sent in with their units to destroy zombies in a Pittsburgh housing project. They secure the building and then flee to a TV station where they escape by helicopter with station employees Francine (Gaylen Ross) and Stephen (David Emge). They land on top of a shopping mall where the zombies have gathered, and, to make matters worse, a gang of bikers arrive on the scene. Now, the enemies are not only zombies but bikers as well. The gore is mostly confined to the first and last half-hours, but even with the gore, it is a well-made film. "Day of the Dead" follows as a sequel.

Seventeen-year-old Martin (John Amplas) thinks he is a vampire–at least he feels the need for blood and uses razor blades to get it from female victims. He also has become a radio call-in celebrity with stories of his "adventures." Set in a crumbling steel city neighborhood, Romero has put together a good, but often gory, tale.
