George Andrew Romero (born February 4, 1940) is an American director, writer, editor and actor. He is best known for his Dead Series of five horror movies featuring a zombie apocalypse theme and commentary on modern society. He is the father of filmmaker G. Cameron Romero.
  乔治·A·罗梅罗被誉为现代恐怖电影之父,他的经典之作、1968年的《活死人之夜》不但重新定义了类型片,还通过清晰的暴力描写,映射和讽刺了当时的美国社会和混乱年代,从此奠定了其在美国电影史上不可磨灭的大师级地位。

  1940年2月4日,乔治·A·罗梅罗出生于纽约,后来就读于匹兹堡的卡内基-梅隆大学。毕业后,他开始拍摄短片和商业广告,并于60年代末同几位好友成立了Image Ten公司,每人出资1万美元拍摄了美国恐怖片中最具影响的《活死人之夜》,这部投入只有10多万美元的黑白片不但赚得了远远高于成本的票房,还成为70年代初的Cult经典,并于1999年入选美国国会图书馆国家电影目录。不过在这之后,罗梅罗的作品都颇为低调,鲜为人知。

  1978年,罗梅罗重拾僵尸题材,拍摄了《活死人黎明》,他决定脱离Image Ten公司,以让影片在更广阔的渠道发行,但结果是他和投资人失去了录影带销售的获利。该片投资150万美元,全球票房超过4000万美元,2003年,《活死人黎明》被《娱乐周刊》评为最经典的Cult电影。

  凭借《活死人黎明》的成功,罗梅罗得以加大拍摄预算,并有实力邀请更优秀的影人加盟。1981年,他与日后成名的艾德·哈里斯合作了《飞车敢死队》,翌年他开始第一次改编史蒂芬·金的小说,拍摄了他最具好莱坞特色的《鬼作秀》。

  80年代末,罗梅罗逐渐走上下坡路,1985年的《丧尸出笼》不仅饱受评论界的嘲讽,票房也一片惨淡,后来其他的几部影片依然不尽人意。罗梅罗不得不偃旗息鼓,直到2005年,继《活死人之夜》、《活死人黎明》和《丧尸出笼》僵尸三部曲之后,罗梅罗终于重出江湖,拍摄了由《丧尸出笼》情节延续而成《活死人之地》,在上映首周登上票房榜首。

“worst horror film ever. waste of time!!!!”

Obviously some people have no taste in horror films. The only thing that is a waste of time is your opinion, which is backed by absolutely no reason at all.

This movie is a true classic. Storyline, acting, effects, are all way above average. Not too much gore/zombie action compared to Romero’s previous outings, but this has none of the overdone studio crap that ruined land of the dead. Keep in mind that this is another of the “handheld camcorder” type flicks. So you might want to take your dramamine before watching it if you’re already prone to dizziness.
