Three horror legends geek out over the zombie film that changed everything.
In this brand new featurette, directors Guillermo del Toro (The Devil's Backbone), Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn), and Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) explain what makes Night of the Living Dead a very special film and discuss its lasting impact on the horror genre. The featurette was produced exclusively for Criterion in 2017.
Direction
Del Toro's passionate, hand-waving analysis of Romero's craft.
Writing
Darabont's screenwriter perspective on revolutionary narrative choices.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Criterion commissioned this specifically for their 2017 restoration, treating a bonus feature as standalone art.
Darabont's Walking Dead success makes his reverence here particularly loaded—he essentially built his career on Romero's foundation.
