Die Zombiefizierung der Welt ist mittlerweile so weit fortgeschritten, dass nur noch vereinzelte Menschenansammlungen an immer weniger Orten der Erde leben. In einer Bunkerfestung unter den Everglades versuchen verschiedene Gruppen, Lösungen zu finden für die scheinbar hoffnungslose globale Situation – was von Medikamenten bis hin zur Zombie-Domestizierung reicht. Wobei das Soldatenkontingent noch einmal ganz andere Pläne verfolgt als die Zivilist:innen … Der elegisch-bedrückende, in seiner Gesellschaftsanalyse so gnadenlose wie schlussendlich erschütternd biblisch hoffnungsvolle Abschluss von Romeros erstem Zombie-Triptychon, dessen erinnerungswürdigste Gestalt auf den schlichten Namen Bub hört. (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.
