In August 2007, while teaching a four-hour film course during the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival in Manila, Tarantino cited Filipino directors Cirio Santiago, Eddie Romero, and Gerardo de León as personal icons from the 1970s, citing De Leon's " soul-shattering, life-extinguishing " movies on vampires and female bondage, particularly Women in Cages.

Night of the Living Dead is an American independent horror film directed by George A. Romero and starring Duane Jones, Judith O ' Dea and Karl Hardman.

At the time, it was atypical for an African-American man to be the hero of a film when the rest of the cast was composed of whites ; but Romero said that Jones " simply gave the best audition ".

Romero stated, " We had a film company doing commercials and industrial films so there were a lot of people from the advertising game who all wanted to come out and be zombies, and a lot of them did ".

While attending Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Romero embarked upon his career in the film industry.

According to Romero, they wanted to capitalize on the film industry's " thirst for the bizarre ".

Critic Danél Griffin remarked, " Romero freely admits that his film was a direct rip-off of Matheson's novel ; I would be a little less harsh in my description and say that Romero merely expanded the author's ideas with deviations so completely original that of the Living Dead is expelled from being labeled a true ' rip-off '".

The small budget led Romero to shoot on 35 mm black-and-white film.

Night of the Living Dead was the first feature-length film directed by George A. Romero.

Romero describes the mood he wished to establish: " The film opens with a situation that has already disintegrated to a point of little hope, and it moves progressively toward absolute despair and ultimate tragedy ".

According to film historian Carl Royer, Romero " employs chiaroscuro ( film noir style ) lighting to emphasize humanity's nightmare alienation from itself ".

Romero revolutionized the horror film genre with Night of the Living Dead ; per Almar Haflidason, of the BBC, the film represented " a new dawn in horror film-making ".

The film and its successors spawned countless imitators that borrowed elements instituted by Romero: Tombs of the Blind Dead, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie ( film ), Zombi 2, Hell of the Living Dead, Night of the Comet, Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Creeps, Children of the Living Dead, and the video game series Resident Evil ( later adapted as films in 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2010 ), Dead Rising, and House of the Dead.

Romero revealed the power behind exploitation and setting horror in ordinary, unexceptional locations and offered a template for making an " effective and lucrative " film on a " minuscule budget ".

Following the 1968 film, Romero released Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead.

Return of the Living Dead sparked a legal battle with Romero, who believed Russo marketed his film in direct competition with Day of the Dead as a sequel to the original film.
