We're OK. We got it made.

It's gonna work

How many you figure are already in?

I don't know.

Not too many

We'll get 'em easy

We get it all locked off.

Then we're goin' on a hunt!

We put up the wall here

This way we can still

get to the plumbing

Why can't we just

board up the stairway?

Sooner or later, it might

be a patrol through here

Looters maybe...

I don't want anybody to

even know that stairway exists

I don't know what else to do?

You're doin' fine

His leg is awful.

The infection is spreading quickly

Can't we do somethin'?

Can't we take him to a Med Unit?

I've seen half a dozen

guys get bitten by those things...

None of 'em lasted more

than three days

Peter where are you?

Right here, trooper

We did it, didn't we?

We whip 'em, didn't we?

That's right Rog

Didn't we? Didn't we whip 'em?

We sure did, buddy

We whipped 'em.

We whipped 'em good.

We whipped 'em!

We got it all!

Leave me alone. It's alright

It's my problem

Just get out of here.

I don't want you here!

I just don't want you

to see me like this

Stephen get out. Please!

This place is gonna be rotten

We gotta cleaning up, brother

You never know

What do you think?

Watch this!

They're still here

They're after us.

They know we're still in here

They're after the place...

They don't know why.

They just remember

Remember that they

wanna be in here

What the hell are they?

They're us, that's all.

There's no more room in Hell

What?

Sometin' my grandad

used to tell us

You know Macumba?

Voodoo...

Grandady was a priest in Trinidad.

Used to tell us...

When there's no more

room in Hell...

The dead will walk the Earth

Got him! Hurry up! C'mon!

Go on... I'll stay with him

You'll take care of me,

wouldn't you, Peter?

You'll take care of me...

when I go

Try to get some sleep.

Save your strenght

I don't wanna be walkin'

around like that

Peter?

Peter?!!

Yeah, I'm here man!

Don't do it, til you're sure

I am comin' back

I'm gonna try not to...

I'm gonna try no to...

come back

I'm gonna try...

... not to.

They use...

maybe...

five percent of the food

available on the human body

... the kind of things...

...with that food amount, the body

is usually intact enough

...to be mobile when it revives

What are you saying?

I mean... You scientists...

- Dummies, dummies!

- What are you suggesting?

Excuse me.

Listen, quiet! Quiet!

One wonders what

is worth saving...

...which is I do

For all I know...

The brain is already dead...

...is the idiots who still alive

Can I speak it up how

to stay alive too?

And I'm tryin' to help

you gentlemen

And you can help.

But what you do take...

- In a logical way...!

- ...is illogical!

Illogical hell!

Illogical hell! I'm showing you a way

that we can opt...

... to pull supplies twenty times!

To pull supplies for whom?

For a whole specimen that is

walking around there...

- ... in increasing numbers.

- We should feed 'em?

What else we

should with 'em?

Gimme an alternative!

I thought you

scientists can come up with that?

... actually, that way solve the problem of growing.

Feeding the oposition doesn't make any sense!

Well I can think on one alternative

I can think on another one, yes.

Since they seem to congregate

in heavily populated areas...

and since we haven`t touch

upon our nuclear resources

why don't we drop a bomb

in all the big cities?

- You probably can't be serious?

- I'm deadly serious! What are the choices?

- What if they run out of food?

- They don't run out of food. That's the problem!

And they won't run out of

food while we still alive

This kind of things, you know,

things that we're talking about here...

...sounds like just a bunch of

people talking crazy

- This is not figthing...!

- ... without actually picture it out!

This is not the

republic against the democrats...

...that got us in a hole economically.

Or lead us to another war!

... is more crucial that we go

down to the line, folks

...we're down to the line. There are

no divisions upon 'em and the living...

At least... At

least let him finish, please!

It`s really all over, isn't it?

...unemotional!

...we got to remain rational

- Logical... logical

- Scientist always think in those kinda turns...

...if it doesn't work that way

that's not how people really are

You've got

to remain logical. We've got to.

There's no choice.

It has to be.

It's gonna be that!

Here it comes!

- Oh nice!

- Wow!

- Bon apetit!

- thank you!

- Stephen?

- Thank you very much!

Peter, what about you?

Where you goin'?

This is just for the two of you

Enjoy

We can't Stephen. Not now

But we will...

Hey, when you finish the rove,

we wrapped it up the drugstore

Attention, all shoppers...

...if you have a 32,

we have a special treat for you...

...if you purchase is in the

next half and hour

...with an amount of

five dollars or more

...we'll give you a bar

of Hard Candy free!

There hasn't been a broadcast

fro three days. Why don't you give it up?

They might come back on

What have we done

to ourselves?

OK, now easy... easy

Stabilise it. That's right!

Bring 'er down. Down, down.

That's it! You got it!

professional army

Looks like they been survivin'

on the road all through this thing

Well let's not make

it esay for 'em. Come on!

What's happening?

There's fifteen or twenty of 'em.

We're gonna shut off the gates

Downstairs first.

Sh*t... It's all taped up.

What the hell are they doing? There's a

whole f***ing glass latch and won't open!

Yeah, everyone f***ing

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…
