Ein alter Herr freut sich auf einen Tag im Vergnügungspark, wird dort allerdings zur Zielscheibe von Spott und Hohn, Gehässigkeiten und Erniedrigungen. Sechs Jahre nach Night of the Living Dead fertigt George A. Romero diesen Gebrauchsfilm im Auftrag einer lutherischen Wohltätigkeitsorganisation an, destilliert darin sein Unbehagen über Gesellschaft, Zivilisation und Kapitalismus zu einer klaren, bitteren und schwarzsatirischen Essenz. Von seinen religiösen Auftraggebern dazumal eingestampft und weggesperrt, erweist sich der unvergessliche Nicht-einmal-Einstünder heute als eines von Romeros Schlüsselwerken.
George A. Romero
Romero, George A. (* 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, 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.
