GENRE Sci-Fi

DIRECTOR George A. Romero

CAST Lane Carroll

NOTES Early Romero film. A military plane crashes near a town

leading to water supply being infected. First explanation given by authorities who descend on town in white overalls is that the plane was carrying an experimental vaccine. But later this turns out to be a biological weapon with no known antidote.

The town is sealed off and the inhabitants rounded up. But

some resist (with weapons) and a small group seeks a way

out of the cordon.

The water causes the people to go crazy and then die. The

depiction of 'craziness' is laughable.
