No more tricks, baby.

So you're not afraid of fire.

Thank you, Ella. No more food.

No more food, Ella.

No more food. Food, no.

Ella... Let's go outside.

Go outside. Run.

Play.

Like we used to. Come on, baby.

Go outside. Go away.

Take me away, Ella. Come on, baby.

Take me away. Yeah.

Mel, no. Go away. Go away. Don't come.

Mel, go away. Stay away.

- Are you all right? What happened?

- Mel, get away from here.

- Where's Geoffrey?

- He's not here.

- His car's outside.

- Leave us alone. I don't wanna hurt you.

I couldn't stand it if I hurt you too.

- Mel, please go. Go quickly.

- Allan, what?

Stop it!

Ella, no!

- Did you do that or did she?

- She did.

That's right. She did it. Not you.

You had nothing to do with it.

Mel?

Come on, wake up.

Come on, Melanie. Wake up.

Mel?

Ella, no! Stop. Ella! Get out of there!

Get out of there, you b*tch!

Stop it! Get away from her!

Get out of there! Stop it, Ella!

Come on, Mel. Wake up.

Come on, Mel.

Melanie.

Ella, no! No! Get out of there!

No! No!

Stop it!

Get away from me.

Get away from me, you!

You slime.

You filth.

I'm gonna take you apart.

I'm gonna rip your f***ing eyes out.

I'm gonna tear you open

and chew out your f***ing heart.

Oh, God. Melanie.

- Oh.

- Come on, Mel. Wake up.

You gotta wake up, Mel. Ella, no.

Ella, no. Bring me that needle.

Fetch it to me. Come on, Ella.

I thought we were gonna be friends.

I thought we were gonna go run and play.

Ella.

Come on.

Come here, baby.

Nice music, huh?

Come on up here, baby. Come on, please.

Come here, Ella.

Come on next to me. I want you close.

Come on.

Don't you love me? I love you.

That's my girl. Come over.

Come on and hold me.

Hold me, baby.

Come on.

He's prepped. BP's stable.

- Aagh!

- Allan!

It's OK. It's all right. You had a dream,

that's all. Just a bad dream.

I'm here. I'm with you.

Your surgery's over. It's OK.

Melanie...

- It's over? Really?

- Yeah.

- They did the work on my spine?

- Yeah.

What did they say?

Do I get my body back?

Come on, Ace. Let's go fishing.

Thank you.

George A. Romero

George Andrew Romero (February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian filmmaker, writer and editor, best known for his series of gruesome and satirical horror films about an imagined zombie apocalypse, beginning with Night of the Living Dead (1968), which is often considered a progenitor of the fictional zombie of modern culture. Other films in the series include Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). Aside from this series, his works include The Crazies (1973), Martin (1978), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), The Dark Half (1993) and Bruiser (2000). He also created and executive-produced the 1983–88 television series Tales from the Darkside. Romero is often noted as an influential pioneer of the horror-film genre, and has been called an "icon" and the "Father of the Zombie Film". more…
