The authorities will give us just a

hard time... Maybe worse!

Fran...

We've got everything

we need right here.

Let's get some sleep.

... on other side, these creatures

function on a subconstious instinctal level...

You were the one that want to

set up a house.

... develops a chemical spray

from crop dusting airplanes...

... that doesn't have

effects on human population...

... normal question.

The first question is always...

... are these cannibals?

No, they're not cannibals...

... Cannibalism in the true sense of

the word implies an intraspecie activity...

... these creatures cannot

be consider human...

... they prey on humans.

they do not prey on each other!...

... that's the difference. They attack...

They feed only on warm human flesh...

... Intelligence? Seemingly little

or no reasoning power...

... What basic skills remain are more like

remembered behaviours from normal life...

... There are reports of these

creatures using tools...

... but even these actions

are the most primitive...

... the use of external articles

as bludgeons and so forth...

... I might point out that even animals could

adopt the basic use of tools in this manner...

... These creatures are nothing but

pure motorised instinct...

... We must not be lulled by the concept that

these are our family members or our friends...

... They are not. They would

not respond to such emotions...

... They must be destroy on sight!...

That was Dr. Miller Rush

from the O.E.P...

... and... later on... hopefully today

we're not exactly sure yet...

... I'm waiting for word on this

from some people...

... we expected get him here for a

liveshow. An actual live interview...

... so we can discuss things with him...

The semis are big enough

to block the entrances.

You sure we can start 'em?

You haven't spent enough

time on the street.

This report says they're

working on an analysis...

... of this whole phenomenom...

... from the point of view of a virus disease.

They've been doing various lab tests...

... to see if the can deal

with it in that way...

... and perhaps come up with some

kind of a workeable vaccine...

Hey Fran.

Acording to this report,

the problem they run into Atlanta...

... is that there not are

specimens available...

... it seems in that area

there aren't intact...

... We have a film report

shot in Atlanta but it's not arrived...

I would have made you coffee and

breakfast, but I don't have my pots and pans.

Also... Wait a minute...

There is another report...

May I say something?

Shoot

I'm sorry you found out I'm pregnant, because I don't wanna be treat differently than you'd treat each other

Hey, Frannie, c'mon!

And I'm not gonna be den mother

for you guys

And I want to know what's going on...

...And I want something to say about the plans.

There's four of us, ok?

Jesus, Fran...

Fair enough!

Ok. Now what's goin' on?

We're goin' out.

And you're not coming with us!

And you won't come with us until

you'll learn how to handle yourself

Something else...

I don't know about you two,

but I wanna learn how to fly that helicopter

If anything happens to you,

we have to be able to fly out of here

She's right, man

C'mon. Let's go.

And I don't want to believe

you're leaving me without a gun again

I just might be able to

figure how to use it

I'm sorry, Stephen

It's alright. It's alright

Stephen?

Yeah?

Be careful

Yeah, we'll be alright

In spite of everything you hear here

there's still some people with a sense of humour

How about it?

Gettin' it

I'm not too sure of this thing.

I'll just ride pick up

I grew up on one of these.

C'mon, let's go!

Alright!

Hey, your tail is to slow too?

Come in.

You look my size when you're

sitting in that truck

Well, I wanna know is how if we've both

have the same force together...

...yours be so enlarge?,

You know

Well, they told me it was

a midget force...

They needed somebody

to look out you

Hey, where's flyboy?

What's his twenty?

I just hope he'll fly

off that roof or we fly zero!

Ok, let's go! C'mon!

C'mon, Roger, Come on!

Let's go!

I mean it, man! Now you're not just

playin' with your life, your playin' with mine!

Now are you straight?

Yeah

Go, go, go!

C'mon, Roger, come on!

Watch it, man!

Watch out, watch out!

Roger watch it!

Damm!

That's it, man

- That's it

- Bullshit!

We gotta deal with that leg!

I'm dealin' with it... I'm just dealin' with

it fine! Don't you worry, buddy!

There's a lot to get done before

you can afford to lose me

It all depends on how many of

them are still inside

There's one hell of a run

we gotta make

If we have more flares,

or maybe some of those propane jobs

Guns are first.

Guns and ammunition

You sure you gonna make it?

Just hurry up with that!

Don't try to shoot

through those gates

Openings are too small. Bullet will

wind up chasin' us around in here

Don't worry. They can't

get through

- Ain't it a crime

- What?

The only person who could

ever miss with gun...

... is the sucker with the

bread to buy it.

You just wait

out there, sissies...

... we comin'

And we ready!

OK, let's go!

OK, the door is open.

Push, push!

That's it! Push! That's it!

We're inside. C'mon, let's go!

Hardware

Look here, man... I'm...

I know, shut up. Will you

Alright. The toughest part

will be gettin' by these right here

It's too far

There's no backing up now

We gotta lock those main doors

We'll never make all four entrances.

It's too risky

We'll make it. You just

be ready to open up for us

Wait a minute!

The car!

What?

One of those car? Why don't

you use the car over there?

You OK to start it?

OK, let's go

Close the door. Close the door!

The keys, Stephen... The keys!

C'mon, man.

Get out of there!

God dammit!

Keep 'em! Just keep 'em!

Lock yourself in there!

Jump in the back!

- You alright?

- Yeah

- Keep 'em at large and I'll do the lock

- Gotcha!

That's not 100%, but I don't

think they'll get through

Can't they smash the glass?

Safety stuff.

Pretty indestructible

They got no leverage under the truck

I hopin' they'll just go away

after they find they can't get in

I'll get the alarms.

You get in the car

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…
