Synopsis

After a cemetery attack, a woman reaches a farmhouse where strangers gather for shelter. The dead surround the building, while those inside disagree over how to survive. The danger beyond the walls grows alongside the group's inability to act together.

Cast

DirectorsGeorge A. Romero

Reception and legacy

Romero's independent production helped establish the flesh-eating undead that became central to later zombie cinema. Its confined setting and internal conflicts gave the genre a durable model for linking collective disaster to human behaviour.
