The zombiefication of the world has progressed to such an extent that one finds only sporadic groups of people inhabiting ever-fewer places on Earth. In a bunker fortress below the Everglades, various groups are working on a solution for the seemingly hopeless global problem, ranging from medical cures to zombie domestication. But the soldiers pursue other plans than the civilians . . . This is the elegiac final installment of Romero’s first zombie triptych—as relentless in its social analysis as it is ultimately jarring in its biblical desperation—whose most memorable specimen answers to the simple name Bub. (Olaf Möller)

George A. Romero
George A. Romero (1940–2017) may not have invented the zombie genre but has shaped it like no other. The creator of the Living Dead film series grew up in New York and attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. In 1968 he and his friends produced the cult hit Night of the Living Dead. Lacing his works with social commentary, he directed films like The Crazies, Martin, Dawn of the Dead, The Amusement Park (SLASH 2021) or Bruiser, and adapted several works by Stephen King. He would once again return to his signature series in 2005 with Land of the Dead, followed by two more installments before his death.
