Night Of The Living Dead

Origins

Night Of The Living Dead is a visual style that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly popularized by the influential horror film of the same name directed by George A. Romero in 1968. This style is characterized by its gritty and low-budget aesthetic, featuring stark black and white cinematography, realistic or documentary-like camera work, and a focus on tension, suspense, and gore. The film's groundbreaking use of zombies and the apocalyptic narrative has made Night Of The Living Dead a seminal work in the genre, establishing many of the tropes and conventions still seen in modern zombie films today.
