Director Tom Savini said that it was a no brainer. Tony read the script, memorized it, and did the lines for the audition. He was even able to tear up at will. He got the part then and there.
1:16 is so well done. It's so anxiety inducing, feeling as if u are Ben injured and struggling to find a safe place as hoardes of the undead are coming through rapidly.
Well, it spread because anyone that died came back, hence the advanced state of decay for some of them. As for them being ineffectual, that was Barbara's point. They were slow. She was able to basically walk around them without firing a shot when she fled the house. It was being in the house that made them dangerous. They can swarm in, forming a wall between anyone and the exits.
The reason it spread rapidly is discovered later i. The sequels. Originally no one knew why it happened. ( that was the intention ). In the sequels however is was revealed to that the government was the cause and they used an experimental gas ( AKA Zombie gas ) that was meant to bring soldiers back to life. A bio weapons experiment. The first movie is related to the first attempt. So it was controlled. Thats how it spread so quick. As for the original story. It just did alot of the horror back in the days was left to the imagination.
@@lordgargamel4124 What are you talking about? There is no reason given. I've seen Night, Dawn, Day, Land, and Diary of the Dead and not once was there an explanation. Day of the Dead fully points this out, saying that not only do they not know, they're never going to know.
He died alone, injured and losing blood from his fatal wounds by Cooper, in the darkness of the cellar, sitting on a chair. Listening to the radio of what’s happening in the outside world. Where he discovered the gas pump key… THE FRICKEN GAS PUMP KEY THAT WAS THERE THE WHOLE GODDAMM TIME!!!! The sight of the one thing that would have spared everyone from the bloodbath, the bickering, the lack of cooperation, the fighting amongst themselves and killing each other rather than fighting the hordes of the undead monsters had Ben be laughing, with the insanity, broken hope and despair that he died alone in the dark as the light slowly went out. As a result of Ben’s life fading away into the darkness.
@@eduardosolis6383 Wrong. If you saw the scene that preceded this, Cooper would have murdered everyone anyway whether the pump exploded or not. In the '68 version that might not have happened, and they'd have stood a chance. Harry wasn't a murderer in the original film, but he is here.
If you watched the movie, the point in both original and remake was to show how we as humans fail in organize ourselves in an effective way to survive during mayhem. This wasn't just a zombie horror movie, it was also a human psique study.
Not necessarily because say you do barricade yourself in down there you have no way out. The key would have been the attic because then you have high ground and they can’t reach you. You can always escape the attic but it’s more difficult to escape the cellar if they broke through.
There is a child that needs medical attention because got endured due to zombie attack. So they need to find ways to have enough hope to get her to the hospital. Unfortunately she turned into a zombie
Yes the cellar did prove to be strong enough in the end. However, Ben was not prepared to box himself in there unless there was absolutely no other choice. Ben wanted to explore other options in order to have a better means of escape, but circumstances inevitably led him to the cellar, because in the end…there was…absolutely no choices left for him.
When I was a kid my older brother used to always say when we'd watch this how he'd just go up to the 2nd floor and demolish the stairs case...if that plan worked out as he'd pictured it, it'd been brilliant lol
I loved the movie night of the living dead and still do to this day infact this was the best zombie movie what was ever made in my opinion i bean watching this movie for a very long time ever since I was a kid this zombie movie was and still like no other even to this day
At 1:46 all the way to 2:10 I wish this inspired to make a scene of an apocalyptic movie of where a pack of wolves, coyotes or feral dogs are eating on some burned corpses of humans that were slaughtered (unintentionally blown themselves by an accident or intentionally killed by their own fellow humans) and the main characters that see this would be disturbed, nauseous and pitiful of the sight.
So how do these zombies work? I see these are the slowest but a little mire smarter than the average zombies. Do these zombies hunt by sound (based on the doll carrying zombie brushing shoulders with the woman and not grabbing her)
I'm pretty sure they do go by sound. All the hammering they did trying to barricade the place seemed to attract most of the zombies in the first place.
They actually could've survived had they all went to the attic, they could've even took the t.v up there. Even in the 1960 version of this movie the farm house had an attic.
Tony Todd is such a good actor
Director Tom Savini said that it was a no brainer. Tony read the script, memorized it, and did the lines for the audition. He was even able to tear up at will. He got the part then and there.
Amen
I agree he’s a very good actor
1:16 is so well done. It's so anxiety inducing, feeling as if u are Ben injured and struggling to find a safe place as hoardes of the undead are coming through rapidly.
When he laughed the rest of his sanity out that hit hard, great acting skills 💯💪🏿
Fun fact. The voice on the radio that helps drive Ben into hysterics is that of George A. Romero.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend✅
I never knew that!
The zombie god messing with his creation😆.
🤭
@@wolf44875 Did you not find that fact fun?
With how ineffectual the zombies were in this movie, it really is a wonder they ever killed anyone, let alone spread so rapidly
the 80s ppl was not so smart when it came to this

If u witnessed the 2020 pandemic reaction with the toilet paper, then its no wonder humanity couldn't survive against these undead movers
She could of closed the door, you know
She could "have" closed the door not she could "of" closed the door.
poor ben, 😭 i have such a huge crush on tony todd, loved him also in the candyman movies and in the final destination movies 💕

Zombies:Yummmm Human Barbecue.

04:36 I feel bad for the poor rat.
Fortunately there were more rats that had hidden themselves more better than the foolish young one. Yes I think the one eaten was a young eater.
It’s ironic that it WAS safer in the basement!
Clearly it was safer in the attic.

She could have closed the door. But they all came through the windows anyways
Muy realista la mayoria de los muertos de esta pelicula

( Bella ♥️♥️ talk ) hi Ben 💕 💕 my fear zombie and Bella start shaking crying shy

Hi Ben sweetie brother 💜💜
Whoa... after death we still haven't changed, still fighting and stealing
Hi my daughter name lsabella ♥️♥️ sister
This is the one I been looking for,
But I don't plan on buying,or renting it just to see it though.
So how do these zombies work? I see these are the slowest but a little mire smarter than the average zombies. Do these zombies hunt by sound (based on the doll carrying zombie brushing shoulders with the woman and not grabbing her)
Interesting that she didn't notice that Barbara was a human until she began crying
I'm pretty sure they do go by sound. All the hammering they did trying to barricade the place seemed to attract most of the zombies in the first place.
@ 2:56: Thats not a zombie, its just a regular dude.
She could’ve closed the door for young Ben when she left
That always bothered me lol
There was a dead zombie laid out in the doorway preventing it. She couldn't move it
2:08 to 2:12 zombis are having a barbequieu
❤
Candy Man
But if Ben wasn’t bitten why he become a Zombie?
As the broadcasts said: The recent deceased came alive if their brain is intact at the point of death.
@@TheNotverysocial So he died :(
In this movie, female zombies are beautiful. And they have soft and delicate hands.
