#RecomendaciónPurga: Birth of the living dead
BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD (United States, Rob Kuhns, 2013)
The horror documentary genre, which has gained considerable momentum in recent years, found one of its finest moments in Birth of the living dead. Exploring the moments, creators, and social context surrounding the making of Night of the living dead, this film reveals the trials and tribulations of the recently deceased filmmaker George A. Romero as he shot a small independent film that became one of the most influential movies in film history, and that gave rise to one of horror cinema's most powerful subgenres: zombie films.
A must-see for fans of film documentaries and of the depersonalized, brainless beings that feed on human brains and viscera.
